Seat For The Painting Artist NORA KASTEN / Naples, Florida

Seat For The Painting Artist


"Here is  the latest acquisition for "My Small Art Studio".   It arrived on Thursday, May, 6, 2010, two days after ordering it from the UK.. . .which explains why the shipping fee costs were  as much as the stool alone.  ($85.00 plus $80.00 shipping)  It is just GREAAAAT!  I lowered the painting that was on the easel to use as a backdrop.   The seat goes higher and also lower than what you see here.  You can sit on it almost in a standing position while painting and then make it lower if you want.   The different heights are a good feature.  I have to admit that it's not the most "ladylike position" but it is comfortable and gives me good back posture and support."

THE STORY BEHIND THE STOOL / As a lot of you already know, my husband is in very ill health and is home bound.   A wonderful young lady, Michele Bracket, comes to our house every six weeks to give me a pedicure and manicure.  She gives Karl a pedicure.  Well, she has all this wonderful portable equipment she brings into the house and sets up quickly to get the job done.   You guessed it!  This stool came from one of her catalogs she shared with me.
