Favorite Painting Shirt. From the painter and teacher Colleen Randall, Hanover (Dartmouth) and West Lebanon, New Hampshire. Cotton and polyester blend (40% – 60%), with oil paint and various pigments. Size: medium, “machine wash cold dark colors separately only non-chlorine bleach if needed. Tumble dry low. Made in Bolivia.” 45 – 57 cm.

This commercially available t-shirt was painting in over a period of many years. There is abundant visual evidence of this. Cotton t-shirts become very soft, and quite thin with repeated machine washings. This artifact was not chewed by her dog.
