Look what MY Collectors have been Framing!

Happy Afternoon Everyone,

Several collectors over the past month sent me photographs of their framed prints. It always amazes me the variety of frames and mats available to everyone today! You can literally take a piece of art and
give it a completely different story! What fun for the collector and me when I get to see the results!
The picture below is called: "Dreaming Aspens". I created the original piece by using mixed media...photography....acrylic paint and fabric. Doesn't it look like a dream?
The client did not share where they are hanging this piece. I love the frame color and the mat combination.

The next framed piece was purchased by a Boise, Idaho client for their corporate office. The frame is at least three 1/2 inches wide and is beveled. I love the contrast of the cream mat underneath. They also ordered note cards for a corporate party they are having in the fall. The print is called: "Mountain Fall". The photograph is of one of the many mountain ranges in North Eastern Oregon. The range in this photograph is called the "Elk Horn Range". I had more fun creating the "fall" colors here.

I was so pleased to see this piece that a client from Salem, Oregon had framed. When they sent me the photo I asked them if they knew where the "Secret Garden" was?  They said no, however they thought the gate looked familiar. How many of you can guess where this is?  It is the "Secret Garden" at Belknap Springs. I took a photograph originally and then transferred it to canvas. Using acrylic paint and interesting papers I came up with the final result! I really like the frame they selected for a real contemporary look. The piece will hang in their sons architectural firm in Portland.

It is always a joy for me personally to see and meet the people that collect my art. Keep the photo's coming...I just love them! 

I hope you all have a wonderful evening. 

Your Artist Friend,
