"Write the book you want to read." ~ Steal Like An Artist, Austin Kleon

Have you ever noticed it can be more challenging to do a 'simple' painting, that is, one with less objects, less pattern, less stuff going on... at which point the composition needs to be more precise. When I compose a painting, the way each object aligns to every other element--and also to the edges of the canvas-- are things that I really pay close attention to. Sometimes a 1/4" difference in one element can make it (or break it).

*What is a float frame?

With a float frame, the frame doesn't cover the edge of the painting but instead appears to 'float' around the edge (the painting is anchored to the back of the frame). This allows a glimpse of the painted edges to be seen. It's a nice, contemporary look that allows me to work up to the edge of the canvas, not worrying about what will be covered by the lip of a more traditional frame. I have my artwork custom framed with a brushed antique gold top edge stock with black interior and sides. The final depth of the framed art is about 1-3/8".
