Hanging Loose Canvas Art

Have you ever painted on loose canvas, got carried away and forgot to leave a boarder for stretcher bars? Or...you just wanted to practice and play around on loose canvas and the piece turned out better than you thought with no room left over to add a frame or stretch it? Well...I have too...as a matter of fact I have four, maybe even five painted loose canvases that I want to hang.
One way that works really well is to add grommets to your canvas, and while I haven't tried this method here's a link on how to install a grommet... GROMMETS.
The method I like best, and one I've used on several canvases, is adding wood pieces to the top to hang the loose canvas from, as well as wood pieces on the bottom to weigh it down so it hangs straight.
Other than cutting the loose canvases up into smaller pieces and framing them (I don't really want to do this)...I love the way these look hanging, though I'm curios as to what you think. Is this a look you would use in your home? Below are two of the pieces hanging in my corner of the stuio at F1VEart. Which do you prefer...hanging or framed...curiouse artist mind wants to know! Feel free to leave your comment below.
If you think you might like to try wood hangers...click the photo below and I'll show you how.
In the meantime...
I'm getting ready for my two weeks in Gallery 21 / Spanish Village / Balboa Park / San Diego.
I'm excited to have the space all to my self...and my art in such a nice roomy gallery.
I'll talk more about my show in the next few weeks...though for now I hope you'll save the date for one of the days I'm in Gallery 21...

https://xosoplus.mobi/soi-cau-xsdlk.html mình ghé thử vì đang rảnh, kiểu xem họ làm trang soi cầu Đắk Lắk ra sao thôi. Vào cái là thấy họ chia nội dung theo từng ngày khá dễ theo dõi, nhìn tiêu đề có “hôm nay” kèm đúng mốc thứ/ngày nên không bị lẫn kỳ. Mình để ý phần “bảng chốt số” trình bày dạng bảng/khối gọn, có vài dòng nổi bật như cầu loto VIP nên lướt qua là nắm được ý chính, không phải đọc dài dòng. Kéo xuống dưới còn có box kết quả kỳ trước hiển thị theo từng giải, nhìn như bảng dữ liệu nên dò nhanh tiện. Nói chung font với khoảng cách dòng ổn, mấy khối số xếp thẳng…
I love it! Adds a raw & rustic feel, less formal. I found your site by googling how to hang a canvas without a frame as I'm considering purchasing a seascape piece I fell in love with online for our casual/rustic home in Naples FL. Purchasing just rolled is a significant savings and I thought would go better with my decor anyhow. Thanks for giving me a visual of how it would look.
I think I would prefer if the wooden bars were more discreet, maybe at the back of the painting, invisible. I guess that's something I'll try with my canvas samples (once painted on. Thanks for the idea!
