During one of my of my regular rounds through the local trash heaps I came across these mirror image tree prints on 'canvas'. It was not woven like a textile, but had a slightly textured matte surface one one side to make it look different than a standard enlarged photo. Is there a specific name for this type of material? Photo-canvas paper? Whatever. The important thing is that the canvases were free.

The prints were a nice size, nice square shape, and had a sawtooth hangar on the back. I wasn't going to paint anything on them, let's be honest about that right up front. So I handed them off to the same friend who had done a lovely turquoise painting on another found canvas.
The photo below shows her first lovely result. This abstract mix of rich colors reminds of the water in an impressionist painting. Yeah .... I would not have been able to come up with that.

This was her similarly dreamy treatment of the second canvas.
She used a similar process but with lighter colors. Pinks and whites instead of reds and dark green.
Note the gold leaf sparkle fun!
