Tired of chasing your brushes around on the floor? My video, “Sailing HideAway - Here, Hold My
Brush!” is for you. Made from found
materials most pack rats would have stored somewhere, this easel mounted brush
holder is easy to make and can be used on a table too! Such a deal! Now, if I
can just unglue my fingers, I’ll go paint something.
Join us on the SV HideAway as we explore Florida's West Coast seeking enlightenment on a course towards wisdom aboard a 23' Com-Pac sailboat.
While we love sailing, we also like to travel. See how we travel from a sailor's
prospective. Should be interesting....

Sailing HideAway - Here, Hold My Brush!

Tuesday, February 18, 2025
Early Researchers, after moments of careful study, have determined there are three types of Traditional Easel Painters: Stand up, Sit down, and both.
Most artists, after spending many precious Art Dollars,
secretly wish to modify their new easel, but are hesitant to make changes to it.
After all, why would you risk messing up this, professionally designed easel by drilling
holes in it and attaching stuff to it that, by their absence, must not be required
to achieve the Quality Painting Experience we all seek?
After a while though, the Artist in Making, tires of picking
up floor-stored art supplies and living in constant fear of stepping on an open
paint tube. Besides the easel is no
longer new, likely paint splattered anyway, and the fine oak floor thus far has
escaped desecration.
Thus, the creative wheels turn to making the Art Easel the
best it can be, or at least easier on the bending structures of the average
human.
Here’s what I did to mine.

A Road You Should Take
It's not about how fast you can traverse this road - It's about slowing down, listening and watching the world around you. So pull up a log or comfy rock and be a part of the scene

Peek - A- Boo Hoodoo
Have you ever thought you saw something out of the corner of your eye but dismissed it? In Bryce Canyon, you may have glimpsed a very rare Peek-a-Boo Hoodoo. They like to play just at the edge of your vision. Walk slowly, carry a fast camera, and embrace a sense of playful wonder. You will find them.

Do Fish Swim In the Air?
Walking along a Blue Springs trail I saw an alligator in
flight. Now, grant you, it wasn't a large alligator-maybe five feet or so in
length, still, a flying alligator is not something you see in the city. An embarrassing few moments later, my alleged
brain determined alligators can't fly, this one in particular was swimming in a
crystal clear spring out flow stream. Occasionally, you may see a fish do the same thing
