PAINTINGS ON CANVAS (Multi-year)
I've been working on paper so much in recent years, that I've collected works on this page that are only done on canvas. They will be found on the yearly pages as well.
Dimensions listed are in inches, height and then width. The page is not meant to be an overview of my work, which would include many works on paper.
(And many SOLD canvases are not included here.)
