Being a responsible painter in the modern era.

July 13, 2019

I’m a huge fan of repurposing items where I can to reduce the amount of stuff that goes to landfill.

My frames are all handmade by me from reclaimed wood from our local “Amish Walmart.” The boxes are found all over the place.

I take the box and custom make a new box to the correct size of the picture so it fits snuggly.

Just a little thing to save the planet one painting at a time. 🙂

Other things I do include is in orange cleaner instead of turpentine to clean brushes and things. This reduce my effect on local water sources.

Do you incorporate environmentally friendly ideas into your art? Repurpose items? Let me know! 🙂
