Such A Gift!


Some weeks back this wonderful gift of an amazing watercolor painting arrived out of the blue from my friend, Dean Grey.  For sometime now I've been toying with how best to frame it. And only recently it hit me--the reason why I was struggling. I had to come to the idea of not using any matting. 
It needs to be framed like a proper work of painting. Like a renaissance still life with that "trompe l'oeil" sensibility. Next move is to get it situated in the dining room proper. Here the detail I previously shared and the full work in its frame.

Yup, that's it! At the head of the table. Doesn't it just pop!?
