A Good Traveling Companion ~Entry #6

[Lynda Moore]

This week I have been in search of a good traveling companion to take with me to Ireland's AITO event. So, just so you know, I have been looking at my previous worn out ones, and even some recent well used ones. I don't want to have to break one in if I don't have to, (fun, but time consuming)
So again I ask this knowledgeable group for assistance. By the way, I am a very enthusiastic painter and can get physical, so strength and stamina are very high on my list. I also need one that is lightweight (for carrying up hills) but also holds onto all my stuff. I have looked at Easy-L and Guerrilla boxes, as well as Soltek brands. Any help you can give me is much appreciated. Thanks ~Lynda

Wow, Lynda - I was down t0 the last line before I realised you were talking easels and paint-boxes!

Phew...!

[Lynda Moore]

Tony, Now that you have recovered from a bit of my Craic, do you have any suggestions?

[Tony Robinson]

Afraid not, lynda. Mine's a home-made effort.

- The search for the perfect plein air kit goes on.....

I use Plein Air Pro kit that comes in a bag and includes an easel, palette, water container.  It works great, but I haul it along on my steel 16" wheelie that I manufacture for TANKS A LOT.  It has 16" wire spoked wheels and carries everything I need effortlessly anywhere over any terrain.  It stores in my van and makes plein air painting a breeze.  I can't attach a photo here but if you are interested email me at [e-mail] and I can show you a photo.
