Favorite Frame finds...and weekend wanderings...

Favorite Frames found on weekend excursions to favorite antique shops downeast, are stored away for the "right painting." Sometimes, I have a frame for a year or more before the appropriate painting is conceived of -or commissioned.

Poking around Port Clyde with husband Andy- produces a "natural art find" --a great shaped stone completely covered with barnacles. Delightful!! Even though I do not use these "found treasures" as models for my paintings- keeping them close by certainly makes them an important "muse" of the creative process. It's all about atmosphere and what you surround yourself with everyday.
