Despite working at a larger scale in recent years, I still love painting on very small panels. So I do a few every once in awhile and have decided to offer them for sale on this blog only. They can be purchased directly from me (payment through by paypal only) while other paintings are available only through the galleries that represent my work.
Frames: Ok, here's the deal with the frames. Normally I don't like a visible-from-the-front frame on my work, so usually I paint on cradled panels. Cradled panels have a one inch strip of wood on the back of the panel that is flush with the edges-visible on the sides, but not on the front. It is clean, modern and ready to display.
BUT. I can't always get the cradled panels in such a small format so I also paint on 1/8" thick gessobord (masonite), which are unframed, but they do have a hanger on the back so that they can be displayed. Or the buyer can have the piece framed themselves. For an extra charge of $10, I have some black wood frames available for the gessobord panels, depending on the size. The black frames ARE visible from the front, the painting just drops in, kind of like a floater frame. However, I have a limited inventory of those and when they are gone, they're gone, and the paintings will be sold as is, no frame but ready to hang anyway.
Confusing? My head is spinning too. Please email me with any questions and I will post some photos of the framing options soon.
Oh and do I have to add that these paintings look far better in person than they do on your computer screen? Well, they do, just so you know.
