...and there was light!

The new lamp came already!  You can see what a huge difference it's going to make.  It's not really that bright--I won't get a sunburn--but it will be wonderful for making art, especially at night.  (You can see the shelves are filling up too...looks homey, and it is VERY functional.)

We had thought maybe we could bring my ancient one home from the cabin, but it only works halfway, and half the time...so REALLY glad this one came today. 

 You can use just fluorescent (but who would want to!?!)  Kind of cold and blue...

Or just incandescent for warm light if you want to read...

Or both, if you want balanced light for judging color and value in artwork.  It's wonderful!  This one is an ALVIN Combination Swing-arm Task Light, and it was the least expensive model we found.
