I’ve decided that most of my work should be ink on canvas. It took quite a while to learn how to use ink with a brush on rough, untreated canvas. I like the results I’m getting. What I like even more is the archival quality of ink on canvas. Paper is unforgiving. Canvas lives on nearly forever. Look at this small detail on a 5-foot by 7-foot painting. The shading is just magical. After setting the ink to make the painting archival, I rolled it up. Then, it shipped out in a mailing tube to its new home in Colorado. Russ
