I'm very open about my stance on French easels.
I basically hate them.
Even though I have 2- my full size Julian from college, and a half-box Julian someone gave me several years ago.
This half-box has been sitting in the darkest dustiest corner of my studio for about 6 years.
But now I'm in the painting group at work, and one of the journalists has an art empire at her desk including her half-box... so that inspired me to bring mine to work.
Her name is PITA and I am now appreciating her and realizing her positive purpose.
When I set her up last night to make sure she was still ok and her twisty bits were still twisty (they are), she bit me. And she had a problem with her back leg but I fixed it.
This is the second time this year that I have found new purpose for something that has been sitting in my studio unused forever. This is why I like having All The Supplies because - though it might take years- they sit in the background until they are needed, and their presence somehow makes a path possible. I don't know how else to say it, but I find this to be very true with my art stuff in particular.

So, even though she bit me, I am really appreciating PITA.
We are friends, but her name is still PITA**.
***All French easels are a pain in the ass.
