I just recently got around to glazing the companion piece to the
painting I did in my last post. Since both paintings were done I needed
frames. Not having a lot of money I thought about going the second hand
route but because they are companion pieces I really wanted them to
have matching frames.
So I got these unfinished frames and decided to stain them myself.
They turned out beautifully!
I picked out a stain colour called
American Walnut. I wanted something like Cherry to bring out the blue
green of the paintings and I think it was a good substitute.
It really brings the paintings to life!
