Cutting Board
13 January 2025
Acrylic on canvas
16 x 20 inches (40.6 x 50.8)
I had a canvas from a frame I purchased and used for another painting. However, that was a print and I ended up repurposing this frame and putting it back in its home. It was a painting of a tent in the mountains and had some areas of thick paint. I didn't want that texture so I tried sanding those areas. That wasn't a very good idea so I tried flipping the canvas. I have the tools to reattach the canvas, but didn't think there would be enough canvas to pull it tight. The sanding didn't work so I had little to lose. It ended up working pretty well and I was happy with its taught-ness. The original was by Herman of Houston (couldn't find any info) and the aging of the canvas was perfect. If I could treat canvas to make it look like that, I would certainly do it. I had no plan when I started painting and rather made some generic shapes. They kind of appeared avocado or olive like, but then I saw the fish. I felt compelled to go with it.
The gif shows the original painting and a couple days of work.
Cutting Board found itself flipped and back in its original frame.
