Last Sunday, the extraordinary landscape painter, Russell Chatham passed. He was a writer, avid fly fisherman, and naturalist. But above all else, he was a painter. He grew up in California painting the wild, untamed places of Northern California. He developed his art in Montanna and late in his life returned to West Marin, California.

Finishing up some smaller paintings has been more challenging than usual. Since my Achilles surgery, I haven’t been able to stand and step back the way I normally would.

I use the walls in my studio to hold the various size paintings I am working on instead of easels. I basically put screws gridded out on the walls and leave about 1/2” exposed to hang the panels from. It is a super clean uncluttered way to set up a studio. 🔥 How do you support your art when making it? | Nicholas Wilton
