I Has Canvases!
Today I traveled to the Bywater area to pick up my canvases from New Orleans Art Supply on Royal Street. These canvases are future dot paintings. The small boxes contain threes of 5" x 5" gallery wrap canvases. The box on the right contains three 20" x 20" canvases. I have plenty of work ahead of me.

The Quest for Canvases
The longest running tale is my quest for more canvases. Back in March I had a flurry of dot painting sales. This occurred right after I had wired all twenty-six of my new batch, “o” Series New Orleans. At that time I had twenty-six more in progress, but no blank canvases in that size.
Leave it to me to become enamored with a canvas the local stores stop carrying. I knew I’d have to order some. I made a call to an art supply store. When I checked back a couple of weeks later, the order wasn’t placed. OK, so I called another place. Then I checked back later with them and found out that order wasn’t made either.
By this time I was really agitated. I went to a third place that did handle this brand. I lucked out. The store had some of that size in stock. This store is not close by, so it is a distance to travel. I ended up placing an order there to buy additional canvases.
Well, it wasn’t until June that the canvases arrived. One order came in June 14th and the other order came in June 29th. Unfortunately, this brand is very popular – no matter what size. No extras are lying around for long. Orders are placed with the manufacturer in California. Anyway, I have enough for three more batches.
