So the @auroragallery44 asked #localartists to reclaim, reuse or recycle something as a canvas for #artwork - and they got some really stunning #artworks from the #localartcommunity !!! For my contribution I reused a #beermat I'd saved from a visit to @buoybeer and #painted a #bear drinking #beer - I've titled it "Bear, Matt". Well, I couldn't leave it at just that...you know how I like visual puns... I had to make some #artprints that look like beermat #coasters So at the gallery if you ask politely you can get a #fineartprint that looks just like a beer coaster! How's that for a #pun ?! You can tell the difference between the #originalartwork and the #prints by looking at the back. My original has the Buoy Beer logo on the back and my handwritten details about the artwork. The art prints are plain on the back except for my logo sticker.
