Fun Painting Surface
I thought it would be fun for you to see something different. So for a quick post today, here are the details… Signature Canvas has this interesting canvas style on offer.

The Past To Understand The Future
Any of you who have been reading my blog for any length of time know I come to painting via design…interior design specifically. The image above is a basic design project I did which needed to be based on a grid. It is marker on vellum. We all have a great story to tell as [...]
Weekend Ponderings
