I just finished building a little painting easel based off of James Gurney's plans and it's really nice to use. I learned a lot about how not to handle plywood before I got things correct.

I don't think I'll be sharing the first 30 minute sketch of my backyard that I did to test it out, but I'm excited to start painting again. It's been far far too long.
