Abstract: Artists prefer to paint on canvas. Paintings previous to this invention, canvas paintings hung on flat walls because the have a flat back. This invention, a tubular canvas can not be place flat on a wall; it must either hang from the ceiling, set on flat pedestal so the viewer can walk around to see the painting in its entirety. With the Full Moon Canvas, the artist paints not on a flat canvas surface but a 360 degree round-tube-shaped, always curving, canvas of any height or circumference. Oil, acrylic or any art media can be applied. (To clarify only, visualize a drum where the sides are painted). It is constructed out of light weight wood. The flat top and bottom are exposed folded canvas from stretching the canvas. When the piece is finished, the flat ends are covered with smooth wood thus creating the frame.

Abstract: This invention, the Full Moon canvas, is for the creative artist. Instead of having to paint on a flat canvas, the artist can apply their creativity, using varies medias, to a round tube shaped canvas surface. The frame is tube shaped and made from pinewood and wood screws. Artist canvas duck is stretched over the frame leaving the top and bottom base uncovered by the canvas. When the art piece is finished, the bases are covered with an attractive round wood. This will give the Full Moon Canvas a professional look when complete. Paint, collage material and/or mixed media are applied by the artist around the sides, 360 degrees of artwork. The Full Moon Canvas is similar, in shape only, to a drum, where the sides are decorated. The full Moon Canvas can be of any size. The artwork on the Full Moon canvas can be hung from the ceiling, set on any flat surface, set at any angle and/or made to rotate with a mechanical device for viewing.
