True 12:5 Extended Domino Proportion - 10x24 Size
This 10x24 is a unique Masterpiece size and 12:5 Extended Domino aspect ratio.
This wide and expansive format is perfect for compositions with a strong horizontal flow. Its elongated shape encourages the eye to move across the canvas, making it ideal for landscapes, panoramic scenes, or compositions where you want to emphasize movement or space. It creates a sense of openness without overwhelming the viewer. It allows for more complex or extended narratives within a single frame while maintaining balance and proportion.
The vertical dimension is still significant enough to avoid feeling overly compressed, giving artists the opportunity to play with both horizontal and vertical elements in a broad yet contained space. It works especially well when you want to stretch a scene or subject providing room for exploration while still keeping the composition grounded. It invites expansive storytelling or sweeping visuals, all within a sleek, visually striking format.

Vincent™ Pro 7/8" Deep Bar • 5/16" Canvas Clearance
5/16" 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 Stretched Canvas Frame.
- Stretcher Bar Profile produces a 7/8" deep stretched canvas
- 1.5" wide Stretcher Bar
- Frames with a dimension of 16" and up have a groove machined in the center inside perimeter to which cross braces attach
- Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest
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.
10x24 Vincent Pro Keyable Braced Frame
- Drawing depicts the exact frame construction, not the proportion
- Precision machined medium duty keyable tongue-and-groove Stretcher Bars
- A 1/2" thick keyable brace (1.5" wide) provides sturdy support for this 10x24 size frame - Brace may be removed in reinserted at any time
- An exclusive slot is milled on the inside perimeter of the 24 Stretcher Bars to which the Brace and the expansion wedges attach
- Patented keyable brace allows the frame to be tensioned in the middle of the canvas, where the tension needed the most
- To increase canvas tension: 1) remove any staples in the corners and those that retain the brace keys in the middle, 2) tap all of the expansion keys further into their respective slots, 3) tighten and re-staple the canvas in the corners
Canvas Tension is in Your Control
In dry climates or air conditioned environments, the lack of moisture in the air causes wood frames to shrink and the canvas fibers to narrow and elongate making the canvas more slack and resulting in a loss of canvas tension. In some instances, the canvas could have waves on the surface resulting in an unsightly viewing experience.
Our Vincent™ Pro professional frames provide the functionality for you to slightly expand the size of the frame in the corners and the middle of the canvas, thereby increasing canvas tension all across the surface. The difference between a loose canvas and a tight canvas is just 1/8", so a small adjustment using our corner and brace keys makes an important difference in canvas tension.
- Helps to prevent waves that occur in a loose canvas
- Increase canvas tension by tapping-in the corner and brace keys
- True professional class canvases make it possible for you to adjust the canvas tension
Cross Braces Make it Tighter
A tightly stretched canvas on an un-braced frame overpowers the Stretcher Bars causing them to bow inward and thereby lose tension. Sometimes that bow can expose a space in picture frames.
When a canvas is stretched on a properly supported frame, the cross-braces prevent the Bars from bowing thereby achieving maximum canvas tension. To increase the canvas tension even more, simply tap the corner and brace keys further in their slots. Properly supported frames provide you with the control over the canvas tension of your canvas and painting.

Plot is the source and the soul of tragedy.
♦ Aristotle
Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher, possessed an astute understanding of various facets of life, from science to arts. His work in Poetics delves into the nature and elements of drama, laying down the foundations for storytelling and drama that have been influential for millennia. When Aristotle speaks of plot as the source and soul of tragedy, he emphasizes the essentiality of a cohesive narrative structure to evoke profound emotions and deep contemplations in the audience.
Aristotle's insight is more than just an observation about theater; it's a guide on the importance of a well-constructed narrative, irrespective of the medium. Whether we paint, sculpt, or sketch, the stories we tell through our art are as crucial as the techniques we employ. Just as a playwright carefully crafts each twist and turn, we too must be mindful of the underlying narratives in our creations. By ensuring our works have a clear, compelling story to tell, we offer our audience not just a visual treat but an emotional and intellectual experience. Through our creations, we share tales of humanity, allowing viewers to see, feel, and understand the world in new and unexpected ways.
Creativity is everything to us artists, so while you bring canvases to life, we've breathed digital life into a likeness we made of Aristotle, and provide a quote and context to inspire your art. Together, our creations honor the past, present, and future of artistry. Start spreading some paint around your own canvas!
