I Was Framed...

Most of the paintings that I've made have never been framed, largely because of how expensive framing is. But there are a few favorites that I've always wanted to see properly presented in a frame. When we realized how well "Stripped Bare" fit with the atmosphere of our living room in New York, my parents volunteered to have it framed for me.

We picked out this frame at Providence Picture Frame, an amazing place in Rhode Island where we've gotten most of the art in our Newport house framed. The battered wood frame with its silver and black detailing is the perfect foil for the cool tones of the flesh and curtains. It really ties the image in with the decor of the room as well. I can't believe how official it makes my work look, guess I better get my signature on there soon or no one will believe its mine!
