Are you a frustrated artist like me, who, despite your best efforts, just can't seem to draw or paint what you envision in your mind?
If so and you still would like to put something you created on an actual artist's canvas then why not have one of your digital camera photos printed on an actual stretched artist's canvas.
There are several ways to do this and prices vary wildly but the easiest way is to upload your image file to an online printing service.
Now, bear in mind that you don't have to upload an image straight from your camera; you can add your own artistic touches to it.
Check out your graphics programs and I'm sure you'll find several options that allow you to impart various effects to the image such as watercolor, conte crayon, oil paint, and others simply referred to as "painterly" effects.
I have applied some of these "filters", as they're called, to some of my images and then printed them at home on artist's watercolor paper. The effect was at least interesting, if nothing else, although I rather liked it.
In any event it was fun and something you can try at home, inexpensively or have one of your best shots done up on canvas.
This is the article that inspired this post about printing digital camera photos on canvas.
The website link provided in that article takes you to the company mentioned, but I couldn't find any information about printing on canvas, so I dug out a few places that print on canvas:
"Create Canvas Prints From Photos".
"Photos Printed On Canvas".
"Art Hammer".
Check this out on Google and you'll find many other places that print on canvas.

Sat Nav, move over, Sat Nag is here to take your throne. Aptly named, the system is a lampoon of Sat Navs and backseat drivers who can’t seem to keep it down.
Looks like Intel’s clearing out all its Classmate inventory in preparation for that new model — it just inked a deal with Portugal for 500,000 of the chubby gray laptops. The Classmates will be manufactured in Portugal as part of the deal, and the final subsidized cost to students will vary based on each family’s income, with a max of €50 ($78). Kids should be getting their new machines at the start of the new school year, so it looks like things should be moving along quickly here.
According to a report from AppleInsider, the Cupertino giant is issuing “advisement bulletins” to some of its channel partners suggesting they get their hands on iPods and MacBooks / MacBook Pros while the gettin’s good. It seems that Apple is telling resellers to place orders for a four-week block’s worth of top-selling iPods, saying that within the next seven days supplies will become extremely limited, while recommending a three-week supply of MacBooks and MacBook Pros. The article claims that this practice is familiar to third-party sellers, and indicates Apple is ramping up for its holiday season (and new iPods and MacBooks / Pros, presumably). Of course, right now this is just whispers in high school hallways, but we can promise you this: Apple will be selling something this holiday season. You have our word.
