Robin was both a painter and a banjo player. He married Irene as he liked her inventiveness and sense of proportion. Irene found a giant–but-condemned house on the hill that overlooked the entire city. She was able to fix all the improper elements that were in violation with the city code and the house gained in value immensely. Suddenly Robin had a studio overseeing the area – with a 360-degree view. It was also a perfect house for parties, used exactly to its expectations. They felt very rich, but the cost of maintaining the house was way above their combined salaries, and suddenly Robin realized his perfect dream studio space would not work together with time restrictions, so he had to go back to making more money. No more time for his studio work.
