This is a painting that I did last year at this time, and I have been unable to put it up, sell it, or take pleasure in it because I am having a terrible time framing it! As a starving artist (metaphorical, of course, if any of you have seen my plump portrait!) I can't afford to have all of my work framed professionally. I try to find ready made frames, hit estate sales, and even the occasional yard sale or two. This is a normal enough size, 8"x8"...but nothing seems to work well. Add to that the fact that I painted it at an angle, to be hung on an angle, and I am having an impossible time finding something to complement it. I painted the top of the flower too close to the edge, so some frames cut it too close. The edges are stapled, so I can't leave it unframed. I have thought about 'floating' it in a slightly larger frame, but don't quite know how to do it. If anyone has a suggestion, I would be MOST grateful! Sometimes, art and logic don't seem to come together....
