14x14 Classic Value Linen Canvas 3/4" Deep #CL-1414

True 1:1 Square Proportion - 14x14 Size

The 14x14 square size is a little less common but gaining in popularity.

The square is perhaps the most intriguing proportion, as it is root of all of the other proportions. It is commonly used in both photography and art. Squares are typically used as the center canvas of a triptych or as a single canvas hung at a 45° angle. The square proportion is long used with medium format professional cameras, and most photographs we see on websites and social media are based on square images. Since all sides of the canvas are the same length, your eye is drawn evenly across the surface of the painting creating a sense of harmony, balance, and a generally a pleasing visual experience. The square format is also a good choice for artists who focus on geometric shapes or patterns in their work, as the regularity of the square shape can help reinforce these elements. Some artists enjoy the challenge of working within the confines of a square format, as it forces them to think creatively resulting in intriguing compositions.

Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not

We only use Solid Wood to build our Stretcher Bars because a solid piece of wood will last indefinitely. When we speak of archival value, it's not just the paint you use and the quality of your canvas and ground, even the wood choices manufacturers make are part of the archival process.

The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.

As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

I am that clumsy human, always loving, loving, loving. And loving. And never leaving. ♦ Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo, an iconic figure whose life was characterized by profound emotional intensity, knew the depths of love and its power to heal and hurt. Through a myriad of challenges, from her accident to tumultuous relationships, Kahlo channeled her raw emotions into her art, making her canvases mirrors of her heart's most intimate revelations.

For many artists, emotions become the driving force behind their creations. As artists, when we pour ourselves into our work, we often find that the lines between our personal feelings and our artistic expression blur. Kahlo's statement serves as a reminder of the vulnerability we willingly embrace in order to truly connect with our audience. The relentless passion, the unwavering dedication, and the undying love - these are the traits we wear as badges of honor, unafraid of our imperfections and the chance of rejection. Because at the end of the day, it's our undying love for art and its potential to touch lives that keeps us going, always loving, and never leaving.
