Monet™ Pro 1.5" Deep Bar • 1/2" Canvas Clearance

1/2" Canvas Clearance is the space between the Bar and the canvas. Generally speaking, more clearance reduces the risk of the canvas touching the wood and creating unsightly lines during painting. Our design provides the optimal clearance so as not to impact your painting, but still leaving enough wood to the maximize strength of the Stretcher Bar.

• Produces a 1.5" deep stretched canvas (Actual depth is slightly thinner)
• 1-5/8" wide Stretcher Bar
• Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest

No Finger Joints!

Solid Wood is far superior to finger jointed wood, which is many small pieces glued together, each with varying grain densities that absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, expanding and contracting non-uniformly as environmental conditions change, and causing the wood to bow and the finger joints to eventually fail.

A single homogeneous kiln-dried solid wood Stretcher Bar outperforms and outlasts a finger jointed Bar whose sole purpose is to save the manufacturer cost, not contribute to the archival value of artwork intended to last a millennium. As a manufacturer, Masterpiece® does its part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. ♦ Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau, an American philosopher, writer, and transcendentalist, often found himself engrossed in the natural world, seeking a deeper connection with the environment around him. His Walden experiment, where he lived for over two years in a cabin by Walden Pond, was more than just a retreat—it was a conscious attempt to experience life in its most organic form, away from the clamor of society. For Thoreau, living deliberately meant immersing oneself in the present moment, embracing the sensations, experiences, and lessons that each season presents.

In the realm of art, this sentiment holds significant weight. For artists, we may consider each project, each canvas, as a season. By immersing ourselves fully in the process, drinking in every moment of inspiration, and allowing the natural flow of our creativity to guide us, we find our most authentic expressions. The idea is not to force, but to allow—to let the influences of each experience mold us, shape our work, and bring forth the most genuine representation of our vision.

Embracing each season, whether in life or in our art careers, means honoring the present, cherishing the unique characteristics it offers, and allowing its essence to seep into the core of our being. Thoreau's words remind us to be present, to be authentic, and to celebrate the ever-evolving journey of existence and artistic expression.
