Currently on my easel is a 48 by 60 inch canvas, my largest piece to date. I have fallen in love with the sketch, thrilled to be working large again and trucking along with this commissioned piece. I will be posting more process images in the coming days, so stay tuned...
I want to plug the work of craftsman and neighbor Gary Grubbs, maker of custom art canvasses. He crafted this canvas and a few other sizes for me last week. The frames are kiln dried to %5 (preventing warping), gallery wrapped fine tooth canvasses with a triple gesso application. I found Gary going through the archives of Ursula Gullow's blog 'Art Seen Asheville'
here. Gary is kind, does quality work (at affordable prices) and is happy to share a bear story or two. He can be reached at (828) 669-5562.
