This is the kit of gear I used back in London Ontario for painting watercolours on location. There is a plastic cup for water, a palette with the colours on it, some brushes ranging from 3 centimeters to a few millimeters, the box with 5x7" paper, and the drying rack. The box is very old maybe 100 years, and is being held together by duct tape, it used to hold pastel sticks. The drying rack is meant to allow the painting to dry while the box is closed, without it the painting sticks to the top and paint comes off. That way when I finish a painting I can pack up and move on to the next location. At my best I was doing eight paintings a day, but that was in Spain with me traveling solo... wake up eat, paint all day, eat, go to bed, repeat for two months. The painting you see in the box looks like something I did in Florida while on a conference, probably in Orlando. Update: it seems to be from a trip I took to Stratford in 2006 according to something I wrote on the back, although I was living in Montreal at the time I may have gone back to visit. Here is a close up of the 4 pylons painting. 5 x 7" cold press, watercolour
