I have worked a little on the mini canvasses today, but mostly on other things. I took three pieces of work down to the Spa for the annual Bridlington Art Society exhibition this morning and unfortunately one of them fell out of the boot of the car - the glass broke and the frame did too! I had to come home and re-frame the piece, by which time it was lunchtime.
I had various housework and other boring jobs to do after lunch, and by the time I actually got into the studio it was nearly four o'clock and I was just too tired to do much. I did float mount one of the mini canvasses into a frame, and it looks nice. I've also experimented with painting a mount using acrylic inks to go with another mini canvas. The mount had a slight mark on it so I couldn't use it, so nothing is lost if it doesn't work.
I coated the finished canvasses with acrylic varnish today and noticed something which I probably wouldn't have otherwise noticed.
Wish a little pre-planning, the mini canvasses could be made as diptychs or triptychs. I think they would look very nice in pairs or a row of three, and it was only because the two canvasses above were side by side and I saw the way the houses seem to be in the same scene.
