What do you do with the returned remnants of a former life? You could burn them. Throw them away. Place them in the recycling bin. Or you can make something new. The later is my choice and this is a project that I have been working out in my mind for a few years. I had some previously misused canvases and so, I finally am getting to work on this.
The finished piece will be comprised of 4 canvases (2 square and 2 rectangular) and measure 42 x 48 inches

You are so creative and I feel blessed to read/see your “explorations”. As teachers, we always wondered how “our” kids turned out. Now, with FB, I am able to catch up on so many of you.
Lovingly,
Julie Weinbrecht, your fourth grade teacher
