A few Crushed Cans with the outlines painted on them. Lots of pretty women! Next I will start adding all the other colors. (I use thick acrylic paints to paint with.)<br />
The small cans sometimes make the small detail work hard to do. It takes a small paint brush and a steady hand!<br />

It's a white dog with brown spots running in a field!<br />
One of the challenges of creating a Crushed Can Art painting is trying to fit the picture idea into the can "frame".<br />
I first sketch the idea on in pencil, then use thick acrylic paints.<br />

I had a request to paint a portrait of a man's pigeon (he breeds and races them) on a Crushed Can.<br />
So I thought why not make a limited, numbered series of pigeon portraits.<br />
Here are three from Series I: The Blue Beaked, Orange Neck Pigeon. There are on 10 cans in a series; these are numbers 1-3.<br />
Each can is numbered.<br />
One of a kind upcycled & recycled Crushed Can Art. Crazy!<br />

I only create a limited amount of Crushed Can Art a few times a year - each one is the only one of its kind in the entire world.<br />
