Sunfire

Acrylic on repurposed firepit cover
16 x 20 inches (40.6 x 50.8 cm)
I tried my hand at making frame stretchers and repurposing an old firepit cover. It worked pretty well for Firepit, but was a bit more stubborn on this one. There are a couple wrinkles in fabric and the stables attaching the material to the stretcher aren't as professional as I'd like. Since the material has been sunbaked, you can't pull it as tight as you'd like. You run the risk of ripping it. The project spurred me to get another staple gun. It was that aggravating. I don't remember exactly how this painting started, but I eventually wanted to make an attempt at some sunrays. I liked how the painting turned out, but I'm still a little put out on the canvas itself. I have one more piece of the cover left, and I think I'm going to let it go.
This is the frame holding Sunfire.
