2012-2022: Located near downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Carriage House Studios is a comfortable and inspiring setting for Neal to work on the grounds of his home, Lone Oak, established in 1917. Situated on 2.5 private acres of mature trees and beautiful gardens, the studio is a retreat from the bustling city just beyond its gates. The large north windows and 24-foot ceiling bathe the room in natural light. In the winter months, the wood-burning fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Visitors enjoy the feeling of an earlier time, honoring the tradition of personal interaction between artist and sitter for creating successful works of art.
