How it Started

How it's going...

How it Started

After retirement, I indulged on an Urban Sketching/Plein Air painting workshop in Italy.  Having never done either, I immediately set out to find the perfect set up.  When I couldn't find one, I decided to make one myself!

How it's going...

I hand build each easel individually in my basement in Ohio.  I test each easel before it goes in a box so that every single one is something I am proud to sell.  

See all those old textbooks being used as weights?  That's for everyone who said I'd never use algebra again!
