HUGE PROJECT

This is the prep for a 60” X 72” commission 

I had to finish all my other paintings before I could make room for this large canvas.

I taped the studio floor to visualize the scale of the canvas.

You can see the frame leaning against the table.

This painting will be stretched, painted and then removed from the stretchers

to be rolled and shipped. 

Here’s the floor covered with fabric to protect the primed canvas from any grit or grime.

Here’s the frame sitting on top of the primed canvas. I had to decide how large the 

salvaged edge was going to be. I thought 4” was plenty but after looking at the frame

on the canvas I decided to add 5” to each side.

Since it’s going to be restretched I wanted to make sure there was enough material 

To accomplish that task.

Tomorrow the huge job of stretching the canvas. 

Here’s a look at my scary studio. Not a horizontal surface available.

So after stretching the canvas there’s going to be a lot of cleanup 

before I can get started.

This is going to be a slow process but I wanted to let 

you all know I’m busy.

Thanks for waiting MB
