There were no plants in the front
except for one tree. I painted the exterior, replaced windows and doors, enclosed the shed
addition, laid cement on the front porch with a rock wall, built a
goldfish pond with lilies, built an awning over the front window and
planted trees, bushes and hundreds of cactus. On the interior I
repainted everything, tore out the tile and did a treatment on the
cement floor, installed a window paned door to the bedroom, installed a
wood burning stove in the bedroom, added window treatments, installed a
new kitchen sink and counter top, fixed the roof and much more.
My
neighbors were roadrunners, rabbits, coyotes, bobcats, owls, eagles and
a bunch of varmints that I liked to shoot from my porch. The
surrounding rocky hills were an awesome place to go rock hopping and
meditating. Pioneertown has a rich history. Lots of famous bands were starting to show up and there was a large artistic community. Joshua Tree National Park was just 20 minutes away.
I had the Pioneertown Studio for quite a few years. This
was my sanctuary and inspiration for many years. I lost myself there
and rediscovered myself there. I also created some of my best stuff
there.
