Floorcloth Friday!

We have so many canvas things in the works right now, that I thought I would start a new thing where I’ll snap a few photos on Friday mornings and zap them on to my blog readers. Just a quick way to keep you all up to speed with all the happenings in and around the studio.

We have three floorcloths of one design on the table right now. Wreaths and Diamonds is being done in two different sizes for  a client in Missouri and the third one will be on display (and for sale) at the local branch of our  bank during December. It is a 3′ X 5′ version of this design, in nice warm colors of Richmond Gold, Cottage Red and Essex Green and Black.  I just realized that I need to go back and change the green stripe to black and add another black stripe to the outside border before I stencil on the wreaths. I’ll try to add a photo to this post later today when I get that done…. It is $400 and can be ordered by going to the Canvasworks Gallery.

There’s a big one on the table which Theresa is working on as I write this. It’s 8′X11′ and will have a stencilled detail added in the wide tan border. It’s looking really nice!

As you can see, Theresa is half way around with the navy border. This one is for Bob and Joan in Massachusetts. Should be ready right after Thanksgiving.

Finally, something a little different. My daughter is a senior in High School and I’m involved in some of the class’s fund raising efforts. Next week pies will be for sale at Historic Windsor House and I volunteered to paint a sandwich board for them. I have a big plywood sign I put out from time to time to direct people to the studio.I decided to paint canvas panels to tack onto this sign to create the sandwich board. Here they are:

These were fun to paint! Do you think I should offer something like this as a floorcloth? Hmmm…

   These coverings are beautiful! What a great idea aside from putting down new flooring…
