Framed

From the sneer on Annie's face, I could tell she didn't like the blue matting. We'd taken three paintings in to have them framed.

1. Chris Floyd's water colour was the design he would use as the mural on my studio's hall's entry. The water colour in itself was a piece of art.

2 and 3 were Bruce Davidson's birch trees and a wedding present. The Massachusetts artist is a very creative and talented person.

When we married we were blessed that so many of our gifts were hand made by our talented friends or items that weren't mass manufactured. Their imagination adds texture to our friendship.

The first time we were in the shop with the paintings several customers chose that minute to look at Annie's great selection of cards, art work and prints. We told her we'd back.

As always she helped us find exactly the right combination of matting and frames. 

The sneer disappeared.
