question for fellow artists

Mimitabby - did you paint your avatar for real?

I own canvas pliers and a magnetic tack hammer and always stretched my canvas. I like incorporating process to my work and stretching and priming canvas was always a part of that. I haven't done oils in a while, now I do watercolors and similar to Flybye I stretch my paper but that's a given.

Mimitabby - did you paint your avatar for real?

yes, I did. I'm currently painting a series with bicycles in them.

Oh, Sundial, that's BEAUTIFUL!!! Wonderful colors!

Thank you, Mimitabby. I think you should design a jersey with one of your watercolors as the background. I really like the softness of watercolors and seems to be the most feminine media and what a better way than to advertise your art on a jersey.

My daughter is the artist in my house, but I have never seen her stretch a canvas. I am the quilter and I do use a quilt stretcher, even more now because I have only the one hand to quilt with...so I quilt on the stretcher.
