Stretching Rack, List of Large Paintings with Links to Respective Blog

No painting this time, just a photo of the backside of the stretching rack I use to make larger sized watercolours. On the front is the surface of the wood frame riddled with staple holes. Mom and Dad helped with this one, years ago they drove me out to a hardware store to buy the lumber and we whacked together what was a very large frame (like meters) for holding acrylic canvasses. As I gave up on acrylic, I cut it down to size for 22 x 30" watercolour paper to complete "The Grapes of Tuscany" for my late Uncle Ross. Every painting done on the rack was written in pen on the back. Since it is hard to see, here is the list of year, title (the spaces denote where the piece of wood ends, it starts with the bottom piece and goes counter clockwise), and links are provided for ones that have a blog:

update: I have finally filled in the missing blogs, and updated some of the old scans to make the images better. I needed to be outside on a sunny wind-free day to take good pictures. The Grapes of Tuscany is now posted, I found an old photo of it while it was still on the rack in 2002.
