By the way, Beth, do you have to use some sort of opaque backing for your stretched canvas? I see that your easel is backlit by windows as well. I use masonite boards, cut to various sizes to accommodate different sized canvas, but have begun to set them up on the easel so that there are several extra inches on either side of the painting. That way I can clip my reference photos right to the board and they're at eye-level and quite handy. It doesn't look as though you would have room for that extension on either side on your new easel, or would you? It works well with my Sorg.
