C.A.P. A Framed Piece
Here it is, the finished piece just back from the framer, or at least one finished piece. The smaller piece of canvas is on its way back to Warrnambool to be transformed by Rob.

This is what I have rolled up in my backpack to take home; two pieces instead of one. Rob woke up with the idea of cutting the canvas. I thought of turning the paintings around. We hastily stuck the birds on. Observation: Rob cuts and re-assembles, whereas I look at things from different angles.
