Don’t know anything about painting, @Celticstar . . . 
. . . But that looks like a really good quality easel. Nice and compact, easily portable, little drawers for supplies, etc.
Roughly, how much does something like that cost? . . . Just curious.
Cheers

I am an oil painter and just rented a half-sized double bass to try. Examples of both in pic. Does anybody have double bass tips? I will humbly
About $150 Canadian.
You should start a separate topic for this.
Just sayin 
Thanks, @Celticstar . . . watching one of Bob Ross’s old TV episodes is about as close to oil painting as I’m ever going to get, but I really DO like that easel . . . 
Cheers

@Celticstar Did you ever see the film “Tim’s Vermeer”, in which a man tries to replicate one of Vermeer’s paintings, using camera obscura and only uses materials from Vermeer’s time?
in addition to my budding bass career i also do a range of different visual arts: furniture, sculpture, collage, wet darkroom photograms, etc. my practice kind of mashes everything together. if you scroll back thru my insta (https://www.instagram.com/mgoldst/) you can see a lot more work.
No I have not but thank you for the information. I checked several streaming sites but so far no luck.
I’ll keep looking and again thank you for the information.
@mgoldst Those are fabulous! Love the coffee (err milk?) table, it looks like it could be changed into different configurations. The last piece, are the collage pieces inlaid? Really unique!
Some Bob Ross music for you all to paint along to.
I mentioned it because I saw it in the theater a few years ago, and somewhere online today saw it is available on Amazon Prime. I happen to have a trial of Prime right now, so will probably try to view it again. Very interesting film as I recall it. We had Netflix for a while, but it never showed up there.

Thanks, @Celticstar and @Never2Late and @Barney . . . 
I don’t know why I’m so drawn to this thing! 
OK, so if I ever take up painting, I’ll know where to get one of them then.
Cheers

Really love seeing all the art everyone’s done. I think a lot of artists are into a lot of different creative outlets since we’re all pretty tuned-in to not just the cause of making something, but sharing an emotional experience with others. I think that’s especially true of those of us who enjoy the expressive, visceral thump-thumps of the bass guitar.
Anyway – I know a lot of you guys know I’m a professional cartoonist, but I don’t think I’ve shared my paintings or masks here, yet. As fine art goes, this is the kind of stuff that I love to create (and want to find more time for). Hope you like them!
Damn! Not so much a fan of the rest (personal taste) But this one is really good. Reminds me of a crossover of old-school skateboard graphics and metal album covers from 80/90s. So good.
thank you! yes those are ‘dimensional collages’ out of wood with other inlaid materials.
