Panel carrier for wet plein air paintings.

Here is a shot of the inside of the plein air painting carrier. My Dad designed it for 8x10, and since he crafted it horizontally, I had to get creative and use a foam insert to utilize it for my 6x8 panels as well. I think he did a great job, considering he isn't a painter, carpenter, and only had a description from me and the dimensions I was hoping for.

I could really use another one for my 9x12 panels, but I'm not sure if he is up to making another box. This one will always be special though--I imagine it will last for quite a long time. Solidly built with love. :)

    1. I know. I think I'll have him sign it; I didn't think of that, but I'd like him to sign it somewhere. :) Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Ahhhh, your Dad sounds lovely. How nice to have a hand made carrier. Maybe you should paint a portrait of him on the front.x
