We got a kick out of framing this one recently. Ol' Ernest Lee has painted this fun chicken. A bit skinnier and smaller than his normal sizes, this one only measures about 5" wide. We framed it in one of the few frames we've found that really works with this type Folk Art, a thin distressed black moulding (hand-finished Italian!) JUMP!

Come see what other cool ideas we can come up with … [Read more...] about Floating Wisteria Watercolor!

Colors seem to bend and meld, lines approaching and departing. Here is one such example, it measures ~ 22" x 30". Come see this one and many more at Elite Framing in Columbia's 5 Pts shopping district. … [Read more...] about Paul Kaufmann Abstract!
