While driving around Wells Harbor checking out the views and looking for Maine plein air painters...
.... I spotted a guy painting way out on the walk way...I went over to say hello...
Heck ! It was Erik Minzner !
What a delight ! I know Erik thru FB and this is my first 3D encounter...in my own neighborhood!
Erik has the new rollsroyce of easels... a gloucester style designed easel named the "Stapleton Kearns" and made by "Take-it-Easel " hand made in Vermont. He gave me a guided tour of all its great features.
His slim 16 x 20 paint kit and palette sits on top of the cross braces.
He carries the rest of his gear in a basic tool carrier.
What a strong sleek beauty!
The great new Eric Tobin designed feature - really handy.
And of course because Erik's a big guy he has a big umbrella...a solar beach umbrella that he clamps on to the easel. A great set up for a painter who gets out there to paint.
When my cheap gloucester copy wears out I'll definitely get one of these !
