And I took off the fancy aparatus for mounting a board - which I may use if I do big paintings out there. For now I will just put my paper on the top of the box. The legs are really clever, the way they fold up. thanks for the comments - I am keen to do this scene again. Cheers hey Stephen Hi DissenG

I'm glad you treated yourself to the box. It's such a good way of transporting materials. I'm always impressed at the way you get lots of colour into your mountains. Good luck with your upcoming exhibition. I hope you sell out on the opening! K Lovely painting – and a great set up for doing it. I’m glad you treated yourself to the box.

You're back!!!!! So happy to see you. Love the painting, love the bamboo box, love the fact that you included a photo of Helderberg. It's very interesting to me to see how you've interpreted your view by showing the painting and the photo. Thanks!!! It's summer in your world and winter is only a month away here. Brrrr. So keep showing us your beautiful paintings so we can vicariously enjoy summer here too. HEY! You’re back!!!!! So happy to see you.
