April 3 - Blank Canvas

I found a blank - still plastic wrapped - canvas from when I was a child and thought I could be an artist.  16" x 20" pure cotton tripled Acrylic Gesso Primed, Suitable for Acrylic and oil.  I wonder what I thought I could make with this tabula rasa? Now I would joke that I would paint something like the Copy written Blue canvas hanging on its own wall in the MOMA that I first noticed on an 8th grade trip when I was looking for something to make fun of because art wasn't cool and because - even though I had my membership card with me - my chaperone would not let me go up to the special exhibit alone. That would be the joke anyway.  But awhile back - 4th grade - I probably thought I would put on some music and paint the colors it make me feel.  That's a thought I remember thinking one summer.  But I am not a synesthete and I do not feel color from music.  So now this canvas - 16" x 20", trippled Acrylic Gesso Primed, Suitable for Acrylic and oil - will find another person with artistic ambitions through Goodwill, Big Brothers Big Sisters, or perhaps the Salvation army.  Hopefully this amateur will act instead of simply looking lovingly at the canvas.
