I don't see why not, providing the images chosen is a nice sharp, properly exposed one. Noise will be masked to some degree anyway by the canvas finish. so I would go ahead and try.
Best regards, John

I don't see why not, as John says, the canvas will mask any noise issue, if there is an issue at all.
One day you'll find, 10yrs have got behind you.

Absolutely no problem at all. People are putting onto canvas images at 18 x 12 from noisy 4 MP mobile phone cameras that look great. Canvas is very forgiving.

ISO 3200 is pretty clean, I happily go to 6400 on the K5 iis, 3200 was my upper limit on the K5
NB with very little or no post processing

I would be very surprised if you have issues at ISO3200 caj. I have shot theatre productions at ISO8000 - yes 8000 without problems on my K-5 mk1, and the results were good. Sometimes even 12800 when the exposure was spot on and a little tweak with Camera RAW.
The K-5 series cameras are such low light monsters, you really don't have to worry.

I appreciate that.Bodes well for the anniversary party I've been asked to shoot tomorrow!

Now that I know the benefits, I would NEVER shoot anything other than landscapes without flash; even outdoors.
If you're shooting at a distance, get yourself some cheap strobes, radio triggers, light stands and softboxes and set them up nearer your subject.
