Dumpster Diving for Canvas

Last night Russ and I went over to my dad’s house for dinner. My sister, who is in the process of moving out of my dad’s house, was scurrying around the house trying to pack up her things while we were over. Among them I noticed three large rolls of art. I asked her about them and she said she dumpster dived them, and that there were around two hundred pieces of crappy art on canvas.  Bless her little heart, she offered me one of the larger rolls.

Thrilled, I decided to look through it first to see if any of the art was worth saving. We found one piece, that was a portrait, which my sister decided to hold on to. This afternoon I am going to go buy some gesso and stretcher bars at Blick so I can get down to business.
