WCW272 Thrift Shop

Photo Details

Poster: Holstein

Brenda has given us a super fun challenge with autumn colors. I did add a cool color with the warm colors. It is larger than a card-8x10. I recently purchased this frame and mat at a local thrift store. It does have a double mat and one being a blue. I added some fall flowers with the blue to match the framing. Added some dry brushing too. Super fun challenge with this loose painting. It will be displayed in my craft room. I had fun. Hope you come and join us.

Oooh I love how you framed this and that the painting picks up the blues from that frame as well

Linda, this is gorgeous and I am glad you framed it. I love the double matting. The blue really looks great and it will be awesome displayed in your home.

Gorgeous leaves and mixes of earth colors. Your framing is perfect for it and really sets it off.

What a gorgeous painting, Linda! And, it's so perfectly framed, too. While I totally understand why you might want to keep this beauty in your craft room to admire and inspire, I think you need to put this in the living area to share with others and let them be awed by this gorgeous painting!
