These are more stretchers that I have made. Going to visit mom in a week or two. She is getting her cutting board that was promised for her birthday, late. I will be bringing some of these canvases for her to paint on and it seems that she intends for me to paint also.

I bought gesso to treat the canvas. Little did I know there is at least one other color gesso, black.  And guess which one I bought.  You guessed it. I bought black. I thought it only came in white. I did some research and found some people like it and mom said she would love to try it. The pics are of them at various stages of gesso.
The ones in pics are done now, but I still have 5 more to have gesso put on and they are larger canvases. I also made some very small frames, which I will show later.

The last pic is just white gesso on canvas. The black ones were already completed by this point.
