Clothespin Gallery

While in Key West this winter I painted many paintings on canvas pads. The great thing about canvas pads is you can attach them to a  board with clips (I use clothespins). If you like the painting you can mount them on board at a later time.

Right before my show this winter I hung many of these canvas sheets on a display panel with clothespins. I then decided which ones I want to be shown. The rest I place  in folders.




I use Fredrix canvas pads, 9x12. The Canvas will be glued to a gesso 9x12 board. I glue the canvas to  the gesso board with, Artist's Acrylic Polymer Medium. I put heavy books over the glued canvas and set over night.
