Brazil Painting

Wow, I'm really irritated with Blogger right now, the draft of this post that it published was one that I had from days ago, but I spent about an hour fixing it last night, including putting brighter photos in, grrrr.  I also had a better description of how I went about this project and the draft that was posted was really meant for more of a placeholder for me to remember to post about this, sorry about that.  Hopefully I will get better about navigating this as time goes on, but anyway, in the meantime, this painting means a lot to Jim and me and that's why I took the time to frame it and hang it despite the huge crack in it.

The frame is made out of crown moulding that I bought at Homie's, I spray painted it blue and then glazed it.  I'm debating taking photos of the back of it to show how I got it to all go together, but I really don't want to offend anyone who would actually know how to stretch a canvas and make a frame.  Big thanks to my brother for the mitre cuts.



Happy weekend!

  1. Love it, Katie :)
    Darn shame about the handling by customs.
    Yet, the crack does give it a special look.
    Very nice framing :)
