I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers. ♦ Claude Monet

Monet's relationship with flowers was profound. As a child, he was enamored by nature, often wandering through gardens and meadows. This affinity only grew stronger as he matured, ultimately manifesting in the sprawling gardens of Giverny. To say he 'owed' his career to flowers isn't an exaggeration. Flowers were more than just subjects of his paintings; they were muses that whispered secrets of light, shadow, and color.

His iconic water lilies, radiant irises, and countless other floral masterpieces stand testament to this deep connection. For Monet, flowers weren't just botanical entities; they were living poems, each petal a stanza, each hue a verse. Through them, he learned the language of light and color, and in their silent beauty, found his life's calling.

Stretching your own canvas is a great way to have complete command of the process from start to finish. Once your canvas is fully stretched, and if you notice any puckers or loosely tensioned areas, or perhaps even slight waves, you can always rely upon Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner to correct any inconsistencies in the canvas tension. You can be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.

With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets.
