When I made the move to Mexico City, one of the things I had shipped down was my artist's easel. I set it up in the office. The previous owner used the office as an exercise room, and there were plastic mats on the floor. So, I don't have to worry about dripping paint on the carpet. I had also brought tubes of acrylic paint, and I bought some more at the Sunday artists' market. I cleared out the stuff left by the former owner from a cabinet in the office. I am using that to store my painting supplies. I bought a plastic tablecloth to cover the cabinet when I am painting. On my recent trip to Ohio, I bought some canvas boards. I forgot to buy a palette, but I am using a shallow Tupperware container. I have a couple of yogurt containers for my brushes and water. Everything is now set up to get back to painting again.
Since I took that photo, I actually began a painting that I will use for my Christmas card this year. The picture is already half completed. When I have finished, I will take it to a printer and have cards made. I will make the cards out, and on my next trip to Ohio I will buy stamps and give the cards to a friend to mail after Thanksgiving.
