Two Old Pines



Conte' pastel drawing on paper.  12 in. x 14 in.

I have spent the day recycling picture frames by removing the old paintings and cleaning up the frames and glass from surface dirt, ready for some new work.  Then I went through a folder of paintings and drawings from the last year or so.  Many of these pieces of work I had not considered worth framing and basically shoved them away in this folder.  I picked what I thought were the best of the bunch and matched them in size and style to the used frames, (which are still in good condition!).
In one afternoon I managed to frame and matt five paintings and this little drawing above. It really is amazing what a frame can do for a painting.  I am quite chuffed really, it was like instant mass production, paintings ready to hang, or better still, sell.
