Set up for a sunny morning paint out...

The King Gillette Ranch is a neat CA State Park and a favorite to local painters.  Thi swas my "bright sun" unbrella set up as i banged out a 90 minute 6x8 this past weekend.  The unbrella is just you basic light weight beach type.  I made a PVC base that comes apart and holds together really well.  To keep it from blowing over I use 2 10 lbs sand bags i picked up at a Hollywood lighting shop.  Works great as you can see.   

So what do you do with all those paintings...?

If you're CA plein-air super-painter TIM HORN you don't have a problem.  Storing paintings is a pain for most artists for sure, but in a former life TH was a fine art wood furniture designer and maker.  He knows how to build stuff and this is Tim's custom cabinet he designed for his studio storage area.  I wish it were a kit so I could finally find a way to store all my work as easily and as organized as Tim.  Thanks for lunch Tim - and the tour.  Great art all over as Tim is packing up selections for his upcoming one man ahow at The Knowlton Gallery in Lodi, CA in early October.  Get the details at www.Knowltongallery.com
