With this in mind, no coupon or special codes are needed to receive the 20% off discount.

Canvas Sale

As I have noted, canvas prints have become a popular way to hang art on your walls. These prints are a more contemporary presentation of images, without frames, or borders. However, if you would like a more traditional setting, these can be placed into wood frames, or created with a color border surrounding the edges. At this time I have many of my personal prints hanging in my house this way. Mine are grouped into collections for wall spaces. I especially enjoy the reaction people have from seeing large, custom-made photographs in my home. Of course I appreciate having paintings or reprints of famous photos, but as personal as photography is to me, it is a perfect way to present my craft to family and visitors.

So much of my photography is from the ballroom dance floor. Many customers have emailed, and we have created nice groupings of canvas prints for their spaces. While some are on walls, some have them gone up staircases, others have been placed in their entertainment rooms where they practice some of their dancing. Unlike paper prints, it is much easier to hang these as larger prints – they come with rubber bumpers, and framing wire already attached so you just need to mount a picture frame hook to hang these pieces. If you have any questions about them, please let me know! I can help you measure out a good size for a space you were thinking, and can recommend images if you have a few in mind.

Canvas Prints – Tech Thursday

©TimeLine Media - hanging prints in living room

For customers visiting the new TimeLine Media proofing website, I try to give lots of options for displaying your photos. For hanging on the wall, I prefer canvas prints compared to framed paper prints. The presentation of the image is very modern. Without the frame or matting, there is no other decoration surrounding the canvas. The wall that the canvas is hanging on becomes the backdrop, helping to pop the image even more. Here is an example of a display of prints in the living room:

Printing on Canvas

These four prints are each 20 x 20 in size. As a recommendation I would not hang any image smaller than 11 x 14 on the wall. Many think that an 8 x 10 is sufficient, but for me, it would be too small to appreciate anywhere but up close. The larger prints allow the images to be a focal point in the room as soon as one enters. On the website, I do offer 8 x 10 canvas prints in case it will hang in a small space, or hallway, or if you want to put a collection of them together against a wall. I would be happy to discuss with you about how displaying your prints as a single or collection would work for your wall space. I enjoy working on a collection like this one in a while.

Additionally, here are some detail images of these prints. They arrive well-packed from the lab to your home ready-to-hang! They are mounted with a wall hanger and bumpers on the back of the print to prevent any damage to paint on your walls.

Canvas prints can be made in most popular image sizes, but custom dimensions can be made too! The image is printed directly onto canvas, and is wrapped around a wooden frame. Sometimes the image can be made to wrap around the edge, or it can be wrapped with an edge of black, white or any custom color. These were wrapped on white edges.
