I took the day off yesterday to celebrate our anniversary. (33 great years!) This morning, I got some photos I thought I'd share.
Sometimes, after someone buys a painting from me, they send a picture of it framed. I love when this happens because they look so different in frames. Even when I'm not sure I like a piece, I nearly always like them after they've been framed.
The foreground of this painting caused me no small amount of anxiety, but seeing it in a (temporary) frame helps me know that it is okay! |
There have been times I couldn't quite decide whether to put a painting in the 'bad' drawer of my flat file or put it out there for possible buyers. I keep a frame in the studio for just such a quandary.
I love the gold band around the picture in this, it really sets off the light on the hill shapes |
Often times, the frame changes the look of the whole piece, helping me see what I couldn't before. After looking at a the work for hours on end I sometimes lose my ability to 'see' it. The frame alters my view of it, helping me see it with fresh eyes. So to speak..
Painted 8 or 9 years ago, this was recently framed and sent to me. I love how this looks all ready to hang! |
I guess I should collect them and keep a database of who has what, even if just to remind myself on down days that there are people who like my work; even if I always don't!
Thanks for stopping by! Alice
