Hello,
If you know me...you know my biggest goal is to buy a home where I can have a studio too, but you also know that my other goal is to paint mural size paintings. I have taken a step towards that. I found a roll of canvas on ebay. I watched, I offered and I bought it. It was so big; 72 inches. I could barely lift it into my apartment. I learned next how to cut canvas, which was pretty easy. You just rip it! However, apparently I am not a master at measuring , because what was supposed to be 72x72, has become 72x71 or 72x67. However that didn't get me down for long. I have a plan. Since the canvas needs a few extra inches for stretching my final pieces will be 68x68 or 66x66, which is good because, I need to be able to get these pieces through the doorway which is only 73. I will get half the canvas stretched and half will be flat paintings and the collector can decide if they want to mount and frame the painting or have the painting stretched. I painted one flat canvas and am working on a second. I am excited also because, I am painting outside in the fresh air and a friend was kind enough to lend me an air brush and compressor which I plan to use for these big paintings.
I have also been considering to do a one time, limited, elevated fine art print of a painting that has not been exhibited. I was mulling over the idea of doing 50 prints and selling for one day only on my 50th birthday. I still ned to think about it.
Thank you for sticking with me. Please share my blog with friends and family.
THANK YOU!
