Framing

On Thanksgiving day I felt a cold coming on. I didn’t feel like shopping for food so I was down to basics and just had a baked potato for dinner.

Stella and I both had art accepted into to Fusion Fest in Downtown Orlando. The theme for the art was Freedom, so I submitted Freedom from Want. Stella had 3 painting she needed to frame for Fusion Fest.

She worked at a large art table she had repurposed herself. It used to be an island in her kitchen but she put casters on it and reworked all the cabinetry so it became a solid artist work station. She painted it a deep blood red. T squares, rulers and a slot for assorted mats and boards were on the side. Framing and mating work is one of that hardest aspects of getting work ready for exhibition. I often have to rework the framing of a piece several times since something always goes wrong.

I volunteered to drop all of our art work since I live closer to downtown Orlando. Stella was in the final weeks of her masters program and had a long thesis to finish writing.
