Right: Besides the card-catalog easel for large paintings, other “easels” get into the act for rotating, editing, and refining (sofa easel, print rack easel…).

Below: The color of the Florida ocean, dipping my toes in pretend water. It was a motivation, I could just hear the gentle waves.

Below right: Painting the people on the beach and street, I had to imagine the muscles, clothing and movement in the figures. I hope to help my students put figures in their scenes with confidence.
