As you can see there is a lot of extra material for mounting in a wide variety of ways

We use a double primed Blick medium weight canvas, which is made for paintings two to three times larger than these works, cut to size and pinned to support, then a two thin coat back prime, this seals the back. This heavier gauge canvas with back priming produces a canvas that handles like vellum or parchment and the canvas can be mounted on photo board; not typically an option applied with canvas, yes they can be put on stretchers.The canvas is stabilized by the priming method and rolls and lays flat beautifully.

These were done with air brush, brush, the motifs are extractions from our sketch books, hand made into metal stencils. The tile is a variant, there are endless possibilities, of an 11th century roman floor tile that we have worked in quite a few directions and created probably 100 or more painting and floor cloths with it, can get pretty intense.

The motifs are chosen from dozens of sketches done from study and the so called “best” is selected. As an example, let us say dragonfly, many photos of dragonflies are analyzed, buy many are observed, they come in so many variations, there were 14 different types observed simultaneously at the state park here. We feel a good motif is a composite, a “meta Dragonfly” as it were, that is said in the fewest lines with powerful elegance and symbolism .

It is intended that they be mounted and framed but we came up with the scroll idea so they can be hung up when you get them, canvas is sold rolled like this all the time but we would like to be able to use it when we get it, and that has been one of the “hang ups”. Hang up solved, it is pvc pipe with a hand cut slit, then lightly sanded.You can view the piece till you decided wether or not it needs a frame. We think they do not and work great like this. We hang them with 4” screws left about 2 1/4” off the wall surface and you can see the effect in the photos

They hang from 1 fastener or 2 as you choose, 2 for windy locations 1 for calm areas. However one does fine 2 is great for leveling. They are very light and a very lightweight/gauge picture nail does just fine.
