6x12 Vincent Pro Torrey Pines Canvas 7/8 Inch Deep #VTP-0612

True 2:1 Domino Proportion - 6x12 Size

6x12 is one of our popular Domino 2:1 sizes.

The 2:1 aspect ratio, that we call the domino proportion, also offers a unique canvas for artists to play with the perception of space and depth within their compositions. The elongated format allows for the inclusion of foreground, middle ground, and background elements, creating a sense of distance and scale that draws the viewer's eye into the artwork. This aspect ratio has been used by artists throughout history, from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings to Renaissance frescoes to contemporary photography. Its versatility and timelessness make it a classic choice for artists seeking to create dynamic and engaging 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.

When I am, as it were, completely myself, entirely alone..my ideas flow best and most abundantly. ♦ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

One of history's most prodigious musical talents, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart experienced the world through a unique lens. From an early age, he demonstrated a profound connection to music, one that seemed to be woven into the very fabric of his being. The melodies, harmonies, and rhythms that flowed from his mind were not just learned skillsets but expressions of his deepest emotions and observations.

There are moments when solitude becomes an essential sanctuary. Away from the bustle and distractions of the world, we find a space where our true selves can emerge unencumbered. In these moments of stillness, the mind is free to wander, explore, and create without boundaries. It's in this solitude that we often discover our most authentic and powerful ideas, unfiltered by external influences or expectations.

Yet, it's essential to recognize that while solitude can be a catalyst for creativity, the experiences and interactions we have in the broader world provide the raw material from which our art is crafted. It's a delicate balance, one that each of us must find in our path, to ensure that our art remains both genuine and relatable to others. Mozart's dedication to his craft and his intuitive understanding of this balance continue to inspire us, reminding us that true artistry often emerges from the depths of introspection.
