Photos of framed Paintings

Finishing up the Year.
Finally framed the first painting I did.

There is still one more painting I need to frame "Vines". We placed it in a frame and it just did not look right. I need to stain a very dark frame for it.

All these paintings I see different things.


"Blue Dog" was my first Acrylic painting.

Australia

Red Storm
Pink Tornado

"Native Life" can be hung horizontally. It then becomes "Aquatic Life"

Aquatic Life / Native Life

I had trouble figuring out which way to hang this one. 
I may make it so you can hang it more that just one way.
At this angle it is "Aquatic Life" because we see a huge crab, clown fish, and other aquatic life. We were going to name it "Red Crab"until I started seeing the fish.


I was partial to hanging it this way until I framed it, and got my sons opinion. I see a Native American in a Tipi. Seeing it here on the computer, I Still like it like this better.

 Tell me what you think.

Frame Work



Built and burned in the logo on 7 more Oak frames. I will have 2 frames left over after framing the paintings finished.
Im sure I will have paintings to put in them and then some shortly.

Making Frames is a chore compared to painting.



Trying out Polycrylic instead of polyurethane as a finish.
I think it is supposed to be less toxic.

It is a lot thiner than polyurethane. You have to put more coats on, and it is easier to get runs.

Polycrylic seems to dry more clear than Polyurethane. Polyurethane seems to dry a little more red in color.









2 of the frames had runs from putting the polycrylic on too thick. 
Have a couple of paintings that would look better with darker frames anyway.
Sanded them down and applied some ebony stain. 

It was late in the day and in the 50's when I put the stain on. I'm letting them dry over night.  I will check them tomorrow to see if they are ready for the polycrylic.









Cut out dust covers for all the finished paintings. 

I was able to frame 3 paintings and put the hangers on.

Hopefully it will be another sonny day tomorrow so I can get some good pictures of the framed paintings.

Our burn barrel. Had some fallen branches that needed to be cleaned up. This made a good background on my phone.
