Abstract Style rectangular canvas - reused (old painting peaks through) muted colors thick texture over thin layers |
 |
| Edge painted black using roller, looks finished and can be hung without frame |
This is a recent effort.
I like the canvas proportions. I not sure why. I just like the effect, it is not as static like most canvas proportions.
It is a reused canvas. No sense in wasting materials.
Framing is expensive, when done in a manner that preserves the painting. It's definitely worth the cost; however, its not a option if the money is not there.
So I am looking for maximum effect (finished look) with a minimum of labor. (Labor is almost always the biggest cost in art and presentation - well everything actually. Materials are what they are, and can be obtained by barter.)
So the paths open to me are:
- Learn to frame
- Find alternative methods of framing
- Ignore framing
I am sure I am missing something. Perhaps I should replace the word framing to display or presentation, both of which are more open ended.
Just today's thoughts.
