Yes, this...It is a 6" x 8" Thumb Box on sale at Jerry's and ASW.
Who am I am kidding? I'm only a robot some of the time. Today I am the robot from Lost in Space. I have to go out of town tomorrow. I am still procrastinating on paperwork. blech. I'm still waiting to hear back for fall semester. I'm still slooooowly stretching and gessoing the linen canvases and I'm still making some brushstrokes or puddles or drips on a canvas while trying to sloooowly pull something into focus.
I've had my eye fixated on this 6" x 8" ThumbBox in a catalog sitting on my desk. The ultimate of diversions: fantasy shopping for art equipment I can live without.
It's the smallness of it. It's also- and this is rather pathetic- my version of a red Corvette during a mid-life crisis. Not really of course; it's on sale for under a hundred bucks. This small phase, I simply must address and rather soon. It's infiltrating my entire existence. It also appeals to my urge of taking my little paintings and working outside (maybe even 20 feet or more from the studio door) or perhaps even the front yard, just for show one day. I am also the proud owner of a white canopy. Or I could transform myself into a committed au plein air painter, only using abstraction. I already have a 1/2 french easel from when I taught a few plein air classes. And since I never used an easel until then, and since I rarely use one today, it seems like a perfectly justifiable purchase.

The mailman is here. I look forward to the mailman. I keep expecting good things to arrive in the mail.

That box looks cool. What would you fit in it? Could you fit anything in it?
I've got a Frenchy easel that I keep thinking I'm going to go on some sort of painting safari with. But I always end up tripping over its spindly legs.
So you got the canopy up then?
Hey hey hey... I'm considering selling mine. If you want one that's slightly used, drop me a note the next time you're in town.
You should absolutely buy this. It is crucial to your forward momentum and direction, as was the kiln I bought a few years back.....
Does anyone need a kiln?
Holy crap, word veri is "chide"
