Framing Watercolors

Framing Watercolors

It is quite amazing how much optimal frame may add to a painting looks.

I feel that this is especially true for watercolors. They are also easy to frame, being usually made on thick special paper.

Awfully important is also to use matching passepartout (photo mount) which will actually bring out the bright colors.

Painting sold

Within a week my painting “Hochleite in January” received a nice comment and has been sold. I hope that many others will follow since I need the space on my walls for many new exciting painting projects.

Coincidence

January 8th, 2011

I just sold a print of the photo below. What is amazing me though is that the buyer configured the print exactly as I saw it with my inner eye while taking the picture. This is truly nice.

Woodpecker Photo published

June 6th, 2010

My Photo of a woodpecker swallowing a whole cherry has been published in a German Newspaper http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wissen/leser-fotos-eigene-perspektiven-1.23671-22.

Art Prints

The story is a bit difficult to translate, because in German Schluckspecht (schlucken = to swallow and Specht = woodpecker) means “Boozer” and the whole meaning is sort of wordplay.

Birch Study Fall

Birch Study Fall

This is the first of rather small quadratic paintings of birch and other tree studies. This one is using black canvas. The acrylic paint is quite thick here, forming a relief like structure. All four large sides (4 cm, 1.57'') are painted in the same manner.

Ancient Olive Tree - framed

This is how the painting looks when framed.

Together with the Gingko Tree, which is framed in the same way, they form a great couple.
