A nice mellow Sunday project after a couple of weekends that weren't so mellow. With a nice fire burning in the Man Cottage wood stove on a rainy Portland day, frame making is a nice diversion. We have a couple of small paintings by Karen Wippich and I'm making frames to match the one on a larger painting of her's that we also have. These will be painted in Karen's secret mix of Payne's Gray and Burnt Umber. Oops, I hope that wasn't actually supposed to be a secret. See more of her paintings at karenwippich.com.
I'm also excited to start another cool woodworking project soon in trade for one of Karen's husband Jon's paintings. Can't wait to get cracking on that! Here's a sampling of his work: jonwippich.com
