we've been framing

24 January 2018

David and I have added frames to a number of my abstract landscape pieces painted on wood and canvas board.

The framing is simple, allowing the sides of the painting to be seen, and giving a sleek, uncluttered look.

Here are 4 of the recently framed pieces...

A couple of weeks ago, while hiking with friends in Val Ferret on the Italian side of the Mont Blanc massif, I made a decision that will surprise no one who knows me. An hour in, we stopped to shed ou...
