It's been a month of equipment changes. A couple of weeks before I was forced to replace my IBM Thinkpad with a second-hand Dell ultraportable. Yesterday, my second piece arrived. A brand-spanking new, handbuilt, double-sided, H-Frame painting easel (with 20 meters of prepared 1.5m canvas). This beauty can accommodate nearly a 7-foot canvas. I'll be using both new acquisitions toward my next project. A series of large paintings, perhaps 2x1.5 meters. I don't have any travel commitments until November, this hopefully will be productive time in the studio. I feel good about getting back to work.
