Richard - you are invaluable! I didn't think it was possible to do this in an archival way (at least, I didn't think I was capable of doing it in an archival way). It also cheapens the shipping of paintings to galleries because often the galleries have the means to re-stretch or bond them to board once they arrive, and I have often started doing just a head and really felt it needed the whole body added to it, but on a 16" x 20" canvas it wouldn't quite fit!
One question leading on from this - what is the safest way to roll a canvas ( the idea came from the way stolen paintings are taken out of museums - according to Hollywood, of course; I haven't had the honour of knowing an a art thief - and rolled. It would certainly open up many countries I wouldn't even think of approaching galleries in because of the shipping expense, but rolling canvases would lessen the cost greatly.
