Studio with Gloves is a 1993 oil on canvas painting by the Welsh artist Shani Rhys James in the National Library of Wales.[https://viewer.library.wales/4655773 painting record] on library website

This painting shows a self-portrait sitting among an array of discarded white work gloves in her studio. The artist is noted for her melancholy self-portraits.Susie Wild [http://www.metro.co.uk/metrolife/209814-art-on-reflection Art: On Reflection], Metro, 8 July 2008. Retrieved 15 May 2016 This painting however seems to catch the artist off-guard rather than in a melancholy mood, as it exposes the creative process in all of its riotous colors. The year after painting this self-portrait, Rhys James was elected to the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art in 1994.Martin Tinney Gallery [http://www.artwales.com/artists-detail-mtg-en.php?artistID=45 Shani Rhys James MBE RCA b.1953].
