Building the frame...

For Mother's Day John built me the frame for my plant-painting!!! The size is 3.5' x 4.5'.

He drilled holes in the top for watering, and holes on all the other horizontal pieces for drainage.

SUCCULENTS!!!!

Ordered over 1,000 cuttings this week.......For my ArtPrize 10, "Living Landscape" . My husband, John, and I will be building the frame this weekend.....hopefully I can start to paint/plant starting next week!!

Stretching my own canvas...

Stretch, fold corners, and rotate the same way and staple about every 1"...... You now have a custom size, hand stretched canvas!!! Now lets paint!
