Unfolding Seed With Duck Painting

Mostly handcrafted oils on hand gessoed and stretched hemp canvas. It has a robust weave which adds to the texture of the painting.* The 1.5"/3.8cm sides were protected by tape during painting and show the white gessoed surface. _____ *Many of the paintings you may have admired in museums by the old masters were painted on hemp canvas. Hemp is stronger than linen. It is also requires no pesticides and little water to grow. Signed on the back and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. If you would like it signed on the front, please let me know upon purchase. With handmade oils there are no plastic tubes to add to the landfill. And walnut oil unlike the linseed oil commonly used in manufactured oils is not combustible in the rags used to clean the brushes, so no risk of fires in the landfill or my studio. Plus it's clearer than linseed oil and won't yellow. It takes a bit longer to dry, which is the only reason I can think of for it not being more commonly used. My goal in packing your painting is to use compostable materials. If needed, I may use recycled materials that are reusable, but mostly you can expect compostable packaging materials.
