Tearing of the canvas

In accordance with another oil paintings embodiment of the invention, a method for attaching canvas to a frame to be suitable for painting and mounting on a wall is provided that includes forming a frame having at least four sides and a corner where adjacent sides join together to form a desired polygonal shape, the frame formed of metal material;

Rounding selected edges of the frame to hand-painted oil painting present a smooth, round edge to prevent tearing of the canvas; cutting the canvas to the desired polygonal shape and to a size larger than the size of the frame to facilitate stretching of the canvas;

Stretching a first portion of the canvas over the frame and temporarily securing the first portion of the canvas to the frame; attaching the stretched portion of the canvas to the frame with fasteners positioned in a fastener track on the frame; stretching a second portion of the canvas opposing the first portion of the cheap oil paintings canvas over the frame and temporarily securing the second portion of the canvas to the frame; attaching the second portion of the canvas to the frame with fasteners positioned in the fastener track on the frame; and stretching and attaching remaining portions of the canvas to the frame with fasteners positioned in the fastener track on the frame.

A modular stretcher

A modular stretcher to which sheets of canvas may be secured with staples or like fasteners, includes elongated members having abstract oil paintings a substantially L-shaped cross section and brackets connecting the ends of the members.

Each elongated member includes on animal oil paintings its outer surface a longitudinally extending groove for supporting a fastener-receiving strip. The inner corner of each member includes a longitudinally extending channel for accommodating an edge of a bracket.

The brackets are connected to the members figure oil paintings by bolts passing through holes in the bracket and holes in the member. The stretcher may be further strengthened with a cross bracing arrangement connected to the elongated members.

Roller-type applicators

The prior art discloses that paint buckets and other sorts of paint carriers are well known. Such carriers include buckets having a hollow abstract oil paintings interior accessible through a large top opening into which paint may be poured, and paint pans such as the sort most often used in conjunction with roller-type applicators.

More often than not, when working with a brush, a painter will simply leave the paint in the can in which the paint is obtained, and paint directly animal oil paintings out of that can. In such a situation, it is usually desirable to prevent paint from slopping onto the surface upon which the can is placed. This is usually accomplished by placing a covering on the floor and setting the can down on the covering, or simply placing the can directly on an appropriate area of a ladder. With the can in reach, the painter may then dip the paintbrush into the can, and paint until re-dipping becomes necessary.

It is further known that paintbrushes can become problematic once saturated with paint. An individual using a paint soaked brush often finds him/herself in the difficult position of trying to locate a suitable place upon which to place the brush when free hands are required. More often than not, the place of choice is directly atop the landscape oil paintings open can. This is usually accomplished by setting the brush down atop the paint can opening such that the brush sets on the rim, the handle extends across the can opening, and the opposite end of the handle sets upon the can rim.

The protective value of the coating

The protective value of the coating depends largely upon the integrity of the conStinuous layer of overlapping flakes or scales of abstract oil paintings metal. If the layer is ruptured, the protective value of the coating is lost, and corrosion and disintegration of the material underlying the layer can ensue.

Because eventual rupture of the continuous layer of overlapping metal flakes is almost inevitable, it has been the heretofore animal oil paintings customary practice first to apply a priming coat which will offer protection to the underlying surface in the event of a break in the metallic paint applied over the priming coat. Such priming coats usually contain a pigment having corrision-inhibiting properties, by which I mean the ability to protect metal upon which the pigment is applied even in the event that small portions of the metal become exposed.

As a result of my investigations I have discovered that relatively large proportions of corrosion-inhibiting pigments may be incorporated directly into a metallic paint, with the result that while the paint is still figure oil paintings liquid they form a corrison-inhibiting film underneath the layer of overlapping metal plates but are completely obscured by the layer, so that in effect the priming coat and the finishing coat are applied together and afterward separate of themselves; the separation being sufficiently complete that the priming coat is completely obscured by the metallic coat. The labor employed heretofore to apply the priming coat separately is thus eliminated, | without sacrificing the additional protection which the priming coat affords. The corrosioninhibiting pigments which I employ in the practice of my invention are those which manifest little or no tendency to "float" out of the vehicle into which they have been incorporated, with the result that they remain underneath while the metal flakes "float" to the surface to form the desired lustrous coating.

A method of manufacturing a lamp

A method of manufacturing a lamp shade comprising providing a canvas material, providing a digital image to be printed on the canvas material, providing a printer capable of accomplishing Giclee printing, imparting the digital image to the portrait oil paintings Giclee printer, Giclee printing the image on the canvas material and securing the canvas bearing the Giclee printed image to the outer surface of a lamp shade.

The present invention is directed to a lamp shade which is decorated on its exterior surface by Giclee printing a desired decorative image landscape oil paintings. The image may be any which is desired, such as fine art, family photographs, vacation scenes or the like which are particularly memorable.

Giclee printing of images generated from high resolution digital images and printed with archival quality inks provides a lamp shade discount oil paintings constructed in accordance with the present invention. The Giclee printing is onto a canvas which has been appropriately treated to receive the archival quality ink and to reproduce the image in high resolution. Giclee printing is typically accomplished using professional 8 color to 12 color ink jet printers.
