This was a lovely piece to work on, especially if you're a bit of a music nut like me :-) It's a pre production test print of the album cover artwork for "Brave" by rock legends, Marillion, the artwork is signed too, so this is a wonderful piece of memorabilia. We used a double black and white mount along with a chunky black frame, all of which enhances the strong, striking artwork...now we're off to get a bit of Marillion on the iPod :-)
Two gorgeous prints by artist Jacqueline Hopkins in for framing this morning. We've given them wide black wood frames, beautiful light in both of these pieces.
You can find more of Jacqueline's work at http://www.hop-art.co.uk/
A couple of metal fronted frames in today, one silver, one bronze. You can't really see that well in this photo, but the sides and inner lip on these frames are black, which stops the metal being too 'bling' :-)
This is one of my paintings that I've framed in a dark wooden tray with a waxed oak frame. It's on show at the SOTA gallery in Witney currently and I'll be in there this Friday doing a painting demonstration on a similar portrait :-) call in and say hi if you're in the area :-)
Working on a very large oak frame today...had lots of fun cutting the glass for this piece ;-)
