Framed Standing in Colors

Matt just finished framing, "Standing in Colors". This painting at 72" x 53" is the largest framing job Matt has tackled. He created a shadow box creating a floating effect with the painting. The varnished wood plays off the deep reds in the tiled background of the painting making the frame a part of the artwork.  Read more about  Standing in Colors here.
