I am a thrift store shopper. 
  Always have been. 
 I have been selling antiques and collectibles for years - so now when I am shopping - I simply look for paint and brushes and canvas in addition to all the other stuff I look for... 
I found this BIG 4 foot square canvas with a bonus!  


It had a great texture already on it.



I did google Thomas Lee and it was as I suspected.

A lousy 1970's furniture store art painting.

So no qualms for me to paint it over.

Pigeon eradication begins.

I never plan ahead what I am going to do.  

I just start painting.

I found a little tube of ORANGE acrylic paint at Goodwill yesterday and put it to use here.

Added a little of this and a little of that...

and a little of that and a little of this....until "Requiem for Two Pigeons" was completed.

Why paint canvas when are so many other options?

A friend gave me a huge roll of canvas.
It turns out it is not canvas.
It is a vinyl wall covering.
Heck.
I don't care.
I will paint on about anything...

I bought this little table at Goodwill and then painted a piece of that vinyl and put about 5 coats of poly-acrylic sealer on it and now all I have left to do is glue it down.

Bye-bye cherubs.....
Hello Denim.

These were a challenge to paint as I had that left-brain right-brain quarrel going on.
"These are pants."
"No.  This is just a funny shaped canvas."
"NO."
"NO!"
Oh the battle raged on....
I am not certain these are done yet - but wanted to hang them up ponder them.
