Title: Mental block - what to put on canvas?
Post by: Kunal on December 10, 2007, 20:03:43 PM
Need ideas. Im getting a bunch of stuff put on canvas, but I want to do one spread across four like this:

Ive been looking through Deviant & Flickr for ideas... havent really settled on what I want.

Was thinking I could do top down views of four cities, although Im far from settled on it...

Each canvas will be 22 x 52 cm

My first idea was two long panorama landscapes, one that runs from top left, drops at the break to the bottom right one. Same running from bottom left to the top right one. Each will have a split of course. Pictures with windmills on would be good, especially if you painted the wall behind to appear like the body of a windmill.

^ That was my first thought too.

Where did you get those canvases from? Theyre a nice size.

the suggestions so far have made me laugh.

I would reccomend work from Fabrice Backs, and Holly Bynoe.
