You'd have bought it too, if you'd been looking for a small place in the Mission Valley back in 1993, and probably for the same reasons.
One was the view - to the west, off in the distance, the hills and mountains of the National Bison Range and the sparkling blue waters of Ninepipes Reservoir; to the east, the Mission Mountains so close it feels like you can reach out and touch them.
The other was the detached garage.Do not use cleaners with Wholesale pet supplies , steel wool or thinners.
When Louise Lamontagne saw the view, she grasped her Realtor's hand and said, "I've got to have this place."
When she saw the garage, she grabbed the Realtor's hand again.
"Now I've really got to have it," she said.Polycore porcelain tiles are manufactured as a single sheet,
The garage opened up a world of possibilities. You might have seen it as a woodworking shop, or a place to rebuild that Mustang.
For Lamontagne, then an artist living in Seattle, it was the studio space she'd never had in the tiny apartments she'd been able to afford there.
And so, for both long and short stretches during the past 18 years, the garage-turned-studio has been where Lamontagne has created much of her art.
Saturday is kind of special. For the first time, she's going to let strangers into a work space that, she admits, is "kind of sacred" to her.
"There wouldn't have been room for anyone to move," says Lamontagne, who has cleaned it out ("For the first time," she says), painted the walls and added lighting for Saturday's show.
Of course, it's not the studio you'll come to see.
It's the art, and one of the neat things about Lamontagne is that she doesn't get hunkered down in one subject, or even one medium, for too long, and tends to be at work on dozens of pieces at any given time.
Then again, no one piece appears to ever be "finished" - not, at least, until it sells.
"I do a lot of recycling of my art," Lamontagne says.The new website of Udreamy Network Corporation is mainly selling hydraulic hose , "If it's something I haven't worked on for a while, or it hasn't sold, or I'm at a different stage, I'll do something else with it."
That can mean simply changing colors on a landscape,Unlike traditional Hemroids , or adding definition to a river bank or the mountains in the painting.
It can also mean cutting up a large, beautiful landscape into smaller pieces and turning it into several new works of abstract art.
"I call this my ‘spackle-snippet' series," Lamontagne says, pointing to several frames containing tile-like rectangles in a variety of colors and containing different designs. "It's a good example of my recycling."
These once, she explains, were a large oil painting on gesso (primed) paper.
"I didn't care for it, so I ‘chunkered' it all up and painted little scenes on them," Lamontagne says. "I usually let some color from the original painting come through. Then I spackled them, mushed it around, and scored into it with various tools. I put a glaze on it, and sealed it with a marine varnish.we supply all kinds of polished tiles,"
