Francis Zimbeaux\u2019s studio rests on top of his home, added there in the early seventies by the artist and a carpenter friend, Connie Gorder. Connie remains to this day a very close, while-away-the-afternoon talking and sipping vodka compadre.<\/p>\n

Access to this studio is a challenge at any age given the necessary angle for a stairway into this space. Imagine the regular ascent and descent for a man in his early nineties.<\/p>\n

The location of the studio is metaphorical in that Zimbeaux\u2019s art comes from the higher reaches of his imagination rather than a more physical reality.<\/p>\n

These photos were taken on a sunny Saturday in early March of 2005. Even the trash can, a cardboard box on which many a brush had been wiped, was artistic but became the only object \u201cnot allowed\u201d to be included in this set.<\/p>\n
