Trend alert:
Asymmetrical Framing
During the Victorian Era, pictures were hung at an angle high on the wall, making it easier to view. However, tilting the artwork made it appear as though it was off balance; to correct this illusion, people began framing their artwork with a wider bottom border, hence the evolution of the bottom-weighted mat. Today’s trend goes into total asymmetry within a frame. We like the shake up and appreciate the way one can balance similar framed pieces off of one another in the same space.

Since 1919, the New Canaan community has gathered on God`s Acre on Christmas Eve to sing carols around the town Christmas Tree, a tradition started by John E. Hersam, founder of the New Canaan Advertiser. The tradition continues this year : Thursday Dec. 24 at 6:30 pm.
Here is Virgina Taylor`s interpretation of this tradition. As your family gathers this holiday season, stop by Handwright to see many more paintings of New Canaan`s distinct traditions painted by Virgina.
