A small canvas is an evening's painting. It fits on a shelf, sits on a tiny easel and makes a gift that is finished in one sitting. These nine show three subjects: green northern lights over a dark line of pines, one glossy strawberry on a flat pink ground, and a red-capped mushroom growing in moss. Type a different small subject or a twist, such as a bee or lemons, and the same three settings carry it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
