Thank Goodness it was Aluminum!
I have had an EasyL plein air easel for ages. I decided recently to try something different and bought a Strada Mini. It packs up nice and small. It is very light so needs to be weighted in weather. At the Wekiva Invitational Paint Out as I was reaching for the weights the wind lifted up tripod,easel, paints, etc. over my head and put it at the bottom of the Wekiva River. Thankfully a young staff member of the island dove multiple times and retrieved. The fact it was aluminum I was able to drain the water out of it and reset up and start to paint. Needless to say I am extr
emely happy with it.
