ABSTRACT:
A portable easel includes a cap plate defining a first leg receiving area and a second leg receiving area spaced apart from the first leg receiving area. The easel includes first and second legs each having a coupling member at an upper end that is pivotally coupled to the cap plate at a respective receiving area. Each coupling member includes a flange extending from a terminal end thereof. Each receiving area defines a cavity configured to receive a respective flange therein, each flange being movable therein between opposed stops such that each of the first and second legs are movable between open and closed configurations. Gas springs are operatively coupled to respective legs. The easel includes support structures for holding an artist's canvas. A ground stake is pivotally coupled to lower ends of each leg for selectively anchoring the easel to a ground surface.
