A solution has been found for storing my small paintings on paper!  Traditional flat files are so expensive and SO HEAVY; I have been on the hunt for some time looking for a more budget-friendly fix.  I can't say how happy I am to have decided on this little shelving unit.  The "shelves" pull out for easy access and I organize my paintings in it according to size.  Derek can even fit his smallest size drawings on one shelf!  (We, or let's be honest, Derek will have to construct our own shelving for the larger works on paper.  More on that later!)  We purchased it at IKEA, which unsurprisingly is proving to be the perfect place to get affordable storage solutions.  Highly recommended at a mere 20 bucks! I don't think I have ever been more excited about a shelving unit in my life...

These small works on paper are all 6 x 4.5" and mostly acrylic and colored pencil. You can browse through even more in my shop. I find myself making many quick, small studies these days...
