Octopus and canvas

Octopus are always fun to paint for me.

I love all their legs and suckers.

Always interesting too!

Meanwhile, yesterday was a full day of stretching canvas.

Fortunately for me, Chris joined me in the labor required for so many.

I already had some that he had stretched before, but he had made more stretcher bars for my shadowboxes.

He made a bakers dozen, requiring me to stretch them.

He lent a hand, and we got them all done along with another 17 flat canvases.

So, one day 30 canvases stretched, later that day I painted a lot of them white.

I covered the table with canvases, waiting until the morning to do the remainder.

I cleared the way to put canvases in places to keep them safe as well.

A long day of making art!
