Framing a Masterpiece
This painting is hanging in my kitchen over my farm table.
Not only is it special because she painted it for me,
but the painting reminds me of my father's hands.
The picture is painted on masonite so it was not easy to hang.
I repurposed these curtain tie backs and screwed them into the studs.
The painting has been hanging there for a couple of years now.
I finally decided it needed a deserving frame and luckily I just picked up an old wooden bench from the side of the road.
The bench was a disaster but some of the old wood was very salvageable.
I used an L bracket to join the corners then nailed the picture to the back of the frame.
Some of my favorite holes and dings on this reclaimed frame are the things that give it character.
The metal plate that was on the front of the bench and now proudly sits in the center of the frame.
This framed masterpiece is a beautiful picture reminiscent of my Dad's strong hands, painted by my artist daughter and framed by me.
