It occurred to me that I never showed off the final product of the
painting that Heather Bruton did for me!
As an update to my
post in August...
My cousin (Kristi Dreese of
Dreese Fine Art & Framing in Spring Lake) hooked me up by framing it for me.
.
I got home VERY early on that Monday and after some sleep (I took that day off of work), I'd gotten up and took it immediately to my cousin's frame and mat shop... unfortunately she was closed that day. *L* So on TUESDAY I went over after work we spent some time going over frames and matting. In the end I decided to go with a nice two-tone frame with a blue and off-white layered mat under archival glass.
So now it hangs prominently above my computer as I work.
(The photo got a bit warped and had to do some corrections, so the angles are all crappy. Stupid optics and stuff in cameras.)
