If you’ve been looking for a lightweight, portable If you’ve been looking for a lightweight, portable easel for outdoor painting, I’ve really been liking the U.GO pochade box from @newwaveart.

We’re planning a second Ojai Mystique show that will open in April, 2026, by the way.) I’ve been hoping she would be the one to take it home with her and she finally did! She also became a friend along the way. 🙂 “Ojai Valley Sunset”, Oil, 28”x56”
