One of our favorite ways to display a work on paper is to have it appear to float above a mat inside a frame. The viewer of the piece gets to see the architecture of the paper vs. the edges being hidden being under a mat. We just completed an elegant piece: a gold painting on deckled paper floated in a black lacquer tray frame with a subtle 22kt gold lip.

We can`t say enough about what Museum Glass does to a framed object: it`s unparalleled clarity and 99% UV protection is the cherry on top of a customed framed piece that makes it sing. If you are placing a framed piece near a window, Museum Glass cuts glare so much, you`ll wonder if there`s even glass in there.

It`s always a treat when Mr. Calder comes to visit and when he shows up, we do our best to let him do all the talking. Here we are keeping the framing concept "very mindful, very demure" : We choose to keep the bright colors *inside* the mat.....Come and see how we can work out magic on your art.

Julia Jensen`s paintings harken to the Skagen and Funen painters of her ancestral Danish homeland, often containing a vibrant and expansive perspective. According to Art New England, “Julia Jensen is a landscape painter whose canvases border on the mystical . . .

As we count down to the 4th we`re working on a Bennington Flag: "76" marks the year 1776, the year the Declaration was signed. 13 stars + 13 stripes = original 13 colonies. Flag is rumored to have flown at the Battle of Bennington, VT. Why was Benning ton important? First time a British General was defeated in the Revolutionary war. That said, it`s thought the flag design came after the battle, to mark the win and inspire more victories. Either way, safe and happy 4th of July to all.
