It's so easy to change panel sizes and I can have more than one panel on the easel if I want to. Your recent still lifes are awesome. I look forward to winter so I can see some still life work from you.Justin Holdrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288747716698898675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938977818099616686.post-43618667520018222182010-12-20T21:04:46.078-05:002010-12-20T21:04:46.078-05:00nartizt- the pegboard is sweet! just get some of t...nartizt- the pegboard is sweet! just get some of that pegboard hardware (and cut it down from about an inch and a half down to about 3/4 inch and wrap it with tape at the end so the painting wont fall off.<br />and some large clips you can get at office supply to clip at the edge of the pegboard if needed.<br /><br />christine- i store the smaller dry ones in milk crates and the wet ones are drying on a series of shelves i fashioned (you see the very end of it at the far right)mike rooney studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318109342734118088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938977818099616686.post-24837571716443550292010-12-20T14:44:05.236-05:002010-12-20T14:44:05.236-05:00Mike-

I also wondered how/where you store all your wet and dry paintings...I see something on the right that looks like an old record rack(?)

I recently bought my first floor easel and thought that using the pegboard is a great idea, so that I don't have to keep adjusting the easel for a new size panel, and all the sloppy paint would go on the pegboard.... So wondered about how you hold your panels... Thanks! I enjoy your work.Nancy L. Vancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482532327670658220noreply@blogger.com
