Birthday Present

I've loaded up the b-day present with paints.

That's it: Tubes of color, brushes, palette knives, palette board and easel.

And you have to go out and turn that into something. Everytime I go out, I honestly don't think I can do it.

That easel is elm and oiled with linseed. It smells wholesome. The joinery is well-done. It's a piece of art in itself. How cool.
