Landscape with a twist

This is really lovely. I wouldn't bin it. Everything goes nowadays, the warp just makes it more interesting.

O please dont do that even though the choice of music is so excellent!! Its a lovely colourful painting. I'm not sure what you can do. I dont really like the idea of you dividing it into sections either. If it was me personally I'd maybe opt to do a copy on a very straight board then frame it to prevent the same thing happening again.

for what it is worth . what would happen if you sprayed the reverse side with water - enough to affect the board but not the paint adhesion , place between two thick board and clamp. Perhaps gradually increase the clamping pressure as the moisture affects the MDF and until it is flat. Then leave to dry off - possibly in the house , not the shed. No guarantee and just a thought

I really like this - don't bin it or cut it please!

It a great painting as it is, just tell people it the effect you wanted, label it 3D. Don't bin or cut it up.

Many thanks for your responses. Much appreciated. The spraying solution is interesting, Mike, except in an attempt to straighten the board I Gorrilla glued battens on the reverse. All in vain. My mistake was to use MDF that’s too thin for that size of board. I presumed the priming would protect it from damp. All part of the learning curve!

This painting and your background description are both very good John! Depending on how bad the warp is, you’ve had a few suggestions. Maybe there’s some sort of floating frame that could be used where it doesn’t need to be fixed fully!? Definitely too good for the bin or the funeral and I wouldn’t cut it up. Good luck.

Thanks for that, Tessa. Maybe worth a try.
