Impromptu Gallery

In my little studio, space is at a premium, so I'm always looking for a spot to set my drying paintings.  Then I discovered the door jambs!  The little ledge is just right for setting a canvas board painting to dry.

And the top of the door is wide enough to support a stretched canvas!  One of my upcoming home projects is to put some picture ledges on the wall so that I don't have to use the door anymore!
