Oh The Learning Curve

So there I was last night taking a shower and as I looked down saw my feet were suddenly covered with water. In a RV that means something is full, blocked or worse.  Roger went and checked our levels and they said everything was fine yet with the new aroma rising we knew it wasn't.  So out he went and pulled the levels and swoosh.  Water in shower..gone. Now we know we have faulty level sensors.  After reading forums found a lot of RV's have the similar issues with their sensors. It's on the 30 warranty list for Lazy Days.


Guess what we figured out? So to put on the wheel covers we needed to raise the coach. Our levelers are airbags that fill and lift the rig so the tires are exposed and ready for travel.  As soon as we elevated a bit Roger went out and put all the covers on. They look fantastic!! Heavy two toned vinyl beige/brown "designer" wheel covers.  (They were on sale at Camping World on the internet).  I will get a good photo of them!!!

So today was the last day I'd be in my studio. The new artist taking it over bought my easel so it's still there.

So many mixed emotions. The easel on which so many of my paintings were made and went to loving homes.  This is where I was everyday for 2 1/2 years. But now on to my adventure and painting America. 



One of my prized paintings just sold the other day. I was thrilled that it;s going to a wonderful home! 20" x 20" oil on copper then framed with one of my "go-to" frames.  Painted on that wonderful easel. Oh well, there's so much to look forward to isn't there!





Just discovered and online group. RVillage  People traveling everywhere in their RV's and connecting through the internet.  There is even a group, I found and joined this evening, of artists.  Very exciting.

More on that later.

Warmly, Sheila

  2. that is so cool that you found that group. I understand the sentiment behind the easel. My father was a famous editorial cartoonist (Ray Osrin) and when he passed, I took his entire art cabinet. I wish you could have kept the easel...seriously

    1. I Know Caren, If we had bought a 5th wheel it was a possibility but there's just no room in the RV. It's ok..I have my plein air easels!!! :-) xx

  3. Beautiful painting of the dogs. It IS sad to leave such a beautiful studio, but from now on your studio is wherever you are parked and that is so much better. :)
