I bought 2 of these wide format deep cradled canvases for some reason. I like the size and shape, however the cradle is 2" deep. The canvas feels strange because it is so deep and it is very heavy. It will sit securely on a shelf or a mantle without a frame. I will paint the sides dark, either black or dark brown stain.
I painted this from a photo I took last summer in the University of Memphis area. It is a neighborhood very much like the one where I grew up, not very far away. It will soon have a companion piece painted from a photo taken in the same area.
