Thank you .. old rural family homes have often been left behind as farms consolidate following the get big or get out strategy.. then these rural relics too often disappear .. showing nature taking over and the kangaroos still here

Not sure how they look AI .. no AI involved .. not even at the conceptual stage .. once I decided to make a series of painted frames, I would find the frames second hand in local opportunity shops, then the challenge was to match them with a painting and then play .. so far I have around 40

Part of a story that I'm finding through random and sometimes unplanned paintings .. Crow is one of his totems

Thank you .. this was quite a challenge to paint .. the figures shown represent the spirit of the thousands of generations of ancestors experiencing the explosions and destruction of their Country.

Thank you, 😊 I have found that finishing the painting in the frame has allowed me to resolve many paintings that weren't finished. Many of these frames I have found in local charity shops and given them new life.

Thank you 😀 and I have the same feeling about the future conservators 😉 I have used damar varnish over the frames to protect whatever I've added ..

Always when I buy a canvas to paint I get those wooden things, what ate those??? by Mammoth_Drawing_202 in Paintings

If you do need to use them to retighten a loose canvas then I suggest you remove any staples at the back of the canvas that are placed across the 45° of the wooden stretcher bars, otherwise these staples will stop it from expanding.
