framed & on the wall.

when we traveled to maine this past summer.
(oh summer, how i miss you!)
i bought a couple of prints from a local art gallery.

to buy them matted and framed was way outta this girls budget.
(not to mention, my hubby would of said "no")
so i just bought the two prints, knowing i had a secret weapon back home.
we'll call her jan and she may or may not have a daughter named susan...
but because she is my secret weapon i can't show you her face.

she graciously let me come to her super secret matting and framing cave
(blind folded of course :)
and helped me bring my paintings to life.

i waited til hobby lobby had both their frames and mat boards 1/2 off.
then i pounced.
i picked out white frames with a charcoal mat board.

see those hands?, those are the hands of a super kind, sweet and very talented woman...who is a gifted artist.
even though i can't show you her face, i can show you her assistant rex.

he may or may not be a black cat...it could just be a disguise.
he's very good at laying in his beanbag chair and meowing orders.

they turned out even better than the super expensive, already framed ones back in maine.

i want to live here.

i hung one in my breakfast nook.

and the other is upstairs in our bedroom.

i love that every time i see them i think of our trip to maine, and how beautiful it is there.
thanks again super secret weapon!
i had lots of fun.
