The nights are getting chilly and the leaves are turning colour here, the first hints of Autumn in the air. The plums and the hazelnuts are finds from a recent walk with my grandson Kai which make perfect subjects to be painted.
I'm thinking of painting on primed un-stretched canvas, which I have never done before, the reason being, they would be easier to send to Ireland and less weighty as I am spending a lot on postage sending boards. Has anybody got any tips for me, things to watch out for? Would appreciate some feedback on the subject.
Don't babies grow up fast when I arrived in Washington kai was 8 months old now he's 14 months up and running and climbing and getting his cute little fingers into everything here's my favourite pic of him.

Hi Diana: Thank you for your visit to my blog. I have been no neglectful of my own blog due to other priorities in life. But I see that your art is just getting better and better. Congratulations!
Diana, I have never painted unstretched canvas. I can see the shipping cost advantage, but would be afraid that rolling a canvas would damage the paint layer. Keep us informed on what you learn about this process. You might get some ideas in the conversation at: http://joanbreckwoldt.blogspot.com/2009/02/methods-using-unstretched-canvas.html. Nance
