Paging OT artists- canvas question

Once a painting has been done on canvas, can you remove the wooden support (in order to transport easier) and then have it re-stretched back onto the wood?
Will it ruin the painting? TIA

Yes, you can. Pretty standard practice. If you aren't comfortable re-stretching it yourself, take it to a gallery/art supply store/or framing shop. They'll do it for you.
You might consider taking it to one of those places before you remove it from the canvas. The type of paint used, thickness, etc. can factor in. Just FYI.

If the joy of painting is wrong i don't want to be right.

If oil or acrylic has been applied thickly, it may crack.

Pretty common practice. What I do is lightly mist the painting with a 33/33/33 blend of peroxide, paint thinner and vinegar. It opens up the paint pores during stretch to avoid cracking. Once stretched and dried, the pores shrink without compromising the integrity of your medium.
