Plein air


 A little off the subject this post..... 
I make a few things that go with my art endeavor.



 This happens to be my wood working area.
It's a little space I carved out in front of my car -
in the garage.
 It supplies most of my needs and even has a heater for cold weather.


 Next are a few of the things I've made....
 These are boxes that carry wet paintings.
Three sizes and will hold up to a dozen panels each.


 A peek inside shows how they slip in.



 This little number is from the sewing machine.
Works like a backpack and holds my stool, tripod or
whatever extras.



 Ah yes, this is made from Styrofoam and
hold the little panels. 5x7's and 6x8's.
I'm sure God created duck tape.


 I picked up this piece of equipment at the 
Goodwill for $8. As you can see, it holds all of the
essentials and is on rollers. Super easy.
That's my painting box on top. It carries paint, brushes,
turp, palette and extra panels.


I could put my stool on the other side instead of the 
paper towels. Hmmmm, good idea.

I'm ready now..... let's go paint!!


OK... so sometimes it's cold and raining out
 This is my ginormous easel.
 I've only done a few large paintings but I made it myself
so I saved mucho bucks. Very handy.

 
And this is where I hang out and create my masterpieces.
Chuckle... well I try.

All for now..... Bye
