I'm posting pictures of some of the things I've been working on especially for the Oak Bay Studio Tour coming up this weekend. I've been really pleased with the canvas floorcloths...they've been great fun to do!

P.S. This is going to be my door prize for the show.

CANVAS FLOORCLOTHS!

Walk on,
stamp your feet on,
muddy boots wiped on,
wet dogs shook on,
fluffy cats sat on (maybe...) art!

Canvas floorcloths are versatile small rugs that can be used in the kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom etc. They are particularly useful in front of entrances to take that last bit of dirt off shoes and in front of sinks. Each mat is handpainted based on paintings I’ve done and each one will have variations on the original painting. Designs can be chosen from the art portfolios, cards, or bookmarks.

Mats are given six coats of high gloss varnish and a coat of clear paste wax. They are very durable and are meant to be walked over! They do not need to be washed as dirt can be wiped off with a damp cloth. The back is sprayed with a rubber coating to avoid slippage. This rubber backing can be scrubbed with soap and water if desired.
