Art Tips for Frame Shapes and Mat Color
Vary Frame Shapes
Add interest to a picture grouping by hanging pictures with differently shaped frames. Here two oval frames round out a diverent set of rectangular frames. Handpainted vines and faux picture wires further serve to unite the pieces.
Mat Colors
Pictures will have greater impact if matted in a contrasting color to the wall. Choose a dark mat for a light wall and vice versa.

Just finished this !! paint still wet when I took the pics !
16x20 inch acrylic painting on stretched canvas .
*****************
I wanted to paint something related to a blue moon -- but -- came out with this beautiful painting instead !!
the moon seems to be gray and silver most of the time -- I think it has many colors .
Everyone loves the Mystic of a full moon, at least I do !
This moon is spinning out beauty as it is shining !
I sponge rolled a mix of blue, green and white for a background color and then had fun with a brush for the black trees and multi color moon.
It will make a lovely addition to anyone's decor -- use in living area, bedroom or just about any room you want to add this lovely abstract painting to.

I wanted to paint something with teal -- came out with this beautiful painting and some teal in there because of the mix of blue, green and white .
Flowers are so pretty -- no matter what kind .
These are a product of my imagination -- so I couldn't tell you what kind of flower -- have fun naming them yourself !!
this painting will go with anything really -- blue and green are a soothing color -- to me anyway.
I sponge rolled the mix for a background color and then had fun with a brush for the floral .
It will make a lovely addition to anyone's decor -- use in living area, bedroom or just about any room you want to add this lovely floral painting to.
