I was very happy with the long sought efficiency of my field equipment. The Soltek easel proved to be extremely versatile. It was able to hold two stretched linens at once, providing stability to both while simultaneously painting across them for the diptych. A helpful musician from the Chamber Music Conference & Composer’s Forum of the East, the group that is on campus with ANE, took the photo of me as I cleaned up on the last morning. My extended stay companion Pat took the picture of me at open studio, still wearing my badge and room key, with my final week of work. The double rainbow was a fitting end to a magical stay at Bennington College.
