Oh no...my canvas has a dent!!! HELPFUL TIP

It will happen to most of us at some time, and sometimes it will happen to our clients....You've stored a canvas or painting and no matter how carefully you did that, a dent appears in the canvas. Luckily, it is quite easy to fix!

Turn the painting over, and if there is a paper backing on a framed canvas, remove the paper backing.

Take a mist spray bottle and fill it with warm water. Spray the back of the canvas (never spray the painted side) lightly with water and use your fingers or a sponge to lightly massage the water into the canvas. You do NOT want to spray too much water that it completely saturates the canvas and goes through to the painted side.

Place the canvas somewhere warm to dry, but not in direct sunlight or near a heat source as it may dry too quickly and cause further damage.

The process of the water drying will tighten the fibres of the canvas and the dent will disappear. If the dent is particularly stubborn, you may need to repeat the process more than once.

Masonic Park Art Project

Very excited and honoured to be one of the artists who took on the challenge to bring some light and art to a local nursing home today. I will be giving one of my favourite original paintings, Newfoundland at Night, to my adopted resident. The evening clouds and the purple sky brings me peace and calm and brings a smile to my face. I'm hoping it will do the same for my new friend. The Masonic Park Art Project will be showcased at Masonic Park, 100 Mount Carson Avenue, Mount Pearl - TODAY Saturday, June 13th from 2pm to 5pm. I look forward to meeting my new friend and those who helped organize this excellent project!
