I am working on a new series. Atmosphere! Creating more atmosphere in paintings. More to come...
This is painted on a 3/8" archival panel, ready for hanging with a keyhole for hanging drilled into the back of the panel. The slim sides are white. Modern and contemporary look.
You may also frame the painting is a traditional frame. It is not so thick that it couldn't fit in a frame.
