Updates to repurpose a canvas

6DF73313-7C67-4C1E-B236-DC83703D48C6Years ago, I had painted a canvas with a French market scene to use as a backdrop/divider for a booth at a show.  It was a quickie, and not meant to be too detailed.

(the sign isn’t really crooked, the canvas has a few billows, here and there that throw off the perspective in photos)

BEFFECA5-0D45-4D58-B5C3-21936870478AI like it better now.  I think he will use it in his patio tent for a French themed dinner party  or maybe to hang on the garden fence?  

It is canvas and acrylic, so would be fine outdoors.  But over time, could cause moisture to be trapped behind it and the fence would rot, so that couldn’t be permanent.
