I have a closet full of canvases in various sizes. I just kept buying them when on sale, stacking them up in different locations within that bedroom. When I finally put them all together in one spot, I took a picture and sent a text to Cathy. If I remember, I think I said something along the lines of "Do you want to go shopping at Michael's, or Linda's back bedroom?" We laughed a lot, then went to Michaels. But seriously, I have NOT purchased any canvases in any type or size since cleaning that room up last year. Hello?
I have an associate who is about to open a gallery. I am not sure at this point what type of gallery, if it will be anything handmade, or if she is issuing guidelines. I did show her a few of my previous collage style canvases, and she was interested. So last week, at an odd moment trying to get my mind off my back, I started the two canvases above.
The bases are antique pattern paper, very yellow. Then some acrylic ink (FW. Love that stuff), Golden acrylic paint, and more paper. I used antique dictionary pages torn up, and an antique parts manual, then some tags. The horizons were drawn with a palette knife and Golden fluid acrylic black paint. When all was dry, I glazed both canvases with Raw Umber, wiping it off with baby wipes, then adding it back, doing that dance that Donna Downey taught us in her online classes.
I like these. I don't want to sell them. Shoot me now.
