Artists Easel

The Easel.
This easel reminds me of painting classes at University (around 1972-73). I couldn't pass it up at last Saturday's Church Sale. I have no idea where I am going to keep it - the foot space alone makes it hard to work around. Everything that should move does (the clamps and the long back piece). I love the left over blue paint.

I love the shadows and wedges, the rough shaping and fairly crude but useful construction. I imagine that these were produced in the campus wood workshop.

Maybe somewhere to 'hang things' from, or maybe part of the living room as a display piece. Right now it is in my freshly painted kitchen (the last 3 days have been painting the kitchen/hallway and ceilings and the area that leads to the basement - 3 steps and a landing with very high ceiling and wall areas) Whew. Done. Just need to paint the door trims with a bright white. Used a gorgeous pale grey that looks blue or lilac depending on the lighting. Delicious. You can see peeks behind the easel with the tone changes.

 I love angles and shadows (see my Corners Post here). Wood has such interesting possibilities for photographing.

Pictorial summing up the last three posts, the small oil painting, the large oil painting and the easel.
