party for arts & expressions @ dogwood

february 27th, friday night, we will host a party for arts & expressions magazine.

featuring a film short by tin roof films. everyone is welcome to join the fun.

details to follow soon.

to work: 2 frames completed today.

# 1 original watercolor "qumran one" by steve coffey. 

used a contemporary moulding by roma. 2 3/4" belvinder brown.

this profile works great w/ natural subjects.

complimented by oyster 8-ply mat. 3 1/2" & bottom weighted an extra 1".

simple & classy. no need to outdo the artwork.

# 2 mounted picture light on a shadow box. great way to draw the viewer closer.

the box was taken apart & cleaned first. whoever tried this initially left debris inside the frame.

thanks & go paint something.

2 frames today

 design is 1/2 the ball game when it comes to framing.

 each frame for a worthy artist.

 # 1 = "rural route" oil on canvas by bob francisco of atlanta.

           roma moulding = la rochelle 3 1/4" honeysuckle.

           i added rabbet foam tape under the lip of moulding to ensure that, 50 years from now,  

           the painting & the frame can be separated if needed.

           this is a extraordinary profile. ( also, available in white, brown & orange )

 # 2 = "white flower detail" photograph by donna rosser of peachtree city.

            roma moulding = genuine woods 1 1/2" charcoal, 

            artique 8-ply white mat = 3" w/ bottom weight of 5".

            artwork was T-hinged to acid free foamboard backing.

            conservation framing w/ a timeless look.
