Framed ...

Yes, I've been framed.  Well - sort of, in the process of being, at least.  

It's been a busy week and after stretching my artworks successfully and delivering them to the local framers - then came the choice of how to present the five works in a beautiful and timeless way.

After meeting with Andrew and Kiara at White Room Framing Studios - we spent quite some time mixing and matching frames and mats until we were happy with the result.

I ended up choosing a mix of pale gold frames and also classic black - it's something I would be happy with and I'm sure they will come together beautifully. 

There is so much to choose from and you can really get lost in it all but it's important to remember to choose something which fits into most homes. 

Botanicals are such a traditional style - and need to blend into the decor rather than compete with it.  They are a timeless work of art and it's important that the frame doesn't overwhelm or detract from the subject matter - the botanical has the starring role.

Accepting day is not far away and I am grateful for the rush job, thanks guys!

In the meantime I will be working on an Artist's Statement, price list and labels for the exhibition next week. 

I've had some great advice from my artist friends - thank you so much xxxx
