Hi everyone I'm not certain this is posted in the correct place, but I am in the middle of this painting and I have a huge problem. The canvas was bumped off of the easel, fell, and caught the corner of my portable working table. Now I have a nasty hole in my canvas. Is there a way to fix this so that the repair will not show? The painting is on linen which is oil primed and there are only 2 or three thin layers of paint in that area. I have not used any medium in this painting. I have included closeups of the tear and also the back of the painting. Help, please! Vianna Szabo Attached Images
