Genie Canvas

I just finished this big 24 x 48 painting of Sand Harbor. It's a commission piece that is being sent to Florida. Since moving to Maui over two years ago, I discovered how beyond expensive it is to ship things to or from Hawaii. A large painting like this one costs between $400 to $600 hundred dollars to ship. That is a huge cost added to my customer's total and can be a deal breaker. But I have found a solution, Genie Canvas
( http://geniecanvas.com/ ). I found this company through a discussion thread on Fine Art America. I checked out their website and was instantly excited. I ordered one ( the painting pictured here ). It took quite a long time to decide what to paint on this canvas. In Fact it sat waiting in it's tube for months waiting for it's turn.

Assembling the canvas was super easy and fast. The canvas it's self is great quality "the heavy weight, 100% cotton canvas is triple gesso primed". Once my painting is dry I will be re-rolling it up and putting it back in the tube it was shipped to me in. Then I will ship it off to Florida at a fraction of the cost to create it and ship it. Just a mere $35! How exciting is that!
