"Arrangement in red, green and blue" Still life with apple, orange and flowers


18" x 24" oil on canvas

I used an old painting primed with a layer of oil paint in this one, I was experimenting with that set background and trying to make use of it, I found out that you can come up with interesting results but didn't like painting over the glassy surface of dried oil and the edges were harder to control so I had to overpaint certain parts since I wasn't getting the needed control that I'm used to, but I think that changing your approach to paint always yields some new insights.

Recycling at it's best. I do that with my "not so fine art" pieces too. Looks like you pulled off a nice painting though.

Yea, you usually pay off by having to overpaint a lot of parts when using an old canvas as a base.

recycling is a very good method, if you had a canvas prints and you didnt want it any more the best way to to go about it is take of the canvas itself then all your left with is the wood and canvas, you could even try and paint over the canvas again if your using acrylic
