Last summer at an event called, Worship@ 8500, 6 paintings were created live while the music was playing. I began 3, while another artist began another 3. We then "passed the brush" to the next person and so on. It was a collaborative project, which created artwork that was then sold for anti-human trafficking, with funds going to Just24-7. I was recently asked to stretch a couple of the canvases. Here is the process:
 |
| The Canvas is over 7 1/2 feet tall so I took over my living room to lay it out |
|
|
|
 |
| I'd already measured and built the frame which just needed to be centered. |
 |
| Using the Stretcher and some staples I worked my way around the artwork. |
|
 |
| Folding the corners over properly is an important step to it being taut. |
 |
| The finished corner |
 |
| The back finished on one piece. |
 |
| My son standing next to the leaning artwork to show some scale. |
 |
| The finished product. All I have to do now is put a finish on it for protection. |
|

Fine art is one of my passions in addition to the other services I provide.
