Canvas Tote Bags
Friday, January 20th, 2012
Long ago and far away, in another lifetime and on another planet, I took a beginner’s oil painting class. I got a really good grade, had a really good time, and spent a really large amount of money on supplies. So I stopped taking art classes. Plus I was a little afraid of the required Art History class I’d have to take if I made this my major in college.
My folks, who are occasionally mistaken for absolute saints, have been storing my old canvases for me. Until now. And my mom had this great idea. So she’s taking the paintings off the stretcherboards, and we’re going to turn them into tote bags. One of a kind. Canvas. Pre-painted. I love the idea. But I am keeping a couple of my favorite paintings in tact. And I took hurried last-minute cell phone photos of each painting, just in case.
Wanna see a couple of my favorites? Remember, first time with oil paints, cell phone photography, in a land far far away. I think my favorite is the nude. We had this lovely middle-aged woman posing for us, and I still find the reality of her changing body beautiful. So… warning… artistic nudity ahead. And green, for some reason.
