| "Vintage Toy Cars," 8" x 8", acrylic on cradled panel in a 2" deep handcrafted floater frame. |
SOLD
I used my husband's old toy cars as the models for this piece. At more
than 35 years old, they were all pretty beat up and rusty, which I
loved.
I painted this quite a while ago, on a cradled panel, but I could never get the sides of the panel to my liking, and after putting it away for several months, I decided to custom frame it - a great decision because I love the finished look! Thanks to O&M for the lovely handmade frame, which blends a bit of a rustic quality with a contemporary look. At 2 inches deep, the frame is quite substantial and gives the piece a clean gallery-quality look.
The piece has a soft matte finish.
