The Lurker at the Threshold
I made out like a bandit for Christmas. If my gifts are any indication, at least a few of you actually like me.
I'm guessing that these same people think that I need to paint more. In addition to the easel, I also received a gob of Sennelier oil paints, and Mayer's The Artist's Handbook (5th Edition). Wonderful stuff, thanks to all.

I think I have easel envy. Its sad beacuse I too just recieved an easle for Christmas; but I think yours is bigger.
Also Sennelier oils - Wow, someone loves you!
That reminds me of the time I worked in an art store. We had a gigantic display of Sennelier pastels, all colorful and buttery looking (and feeling), I just wanted to eat them all! Unfortunatley, if I did, I not only would have been fired, but probably charged more money than I made to replace them as they're nearly as valuable as platinum, or a human organ - your choice.
Bigger isn't always better, but I do have a couple super-sized special projects I'm going to use this baby for.
As for the Sennelier, you're absolutely right. Not only am I loved, but it's taken me nearly 7 years to upgrade my whole set of paints to this level because it costs more than gold.
And, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who has been tempted to eat a paint or pastel based on its color or texture.
A new easel! What kind is it? Santa brought me this one...

Nice easel. I don't know what brand mine is. I think it is from Hobby Lobby.
