This is gonna be a super big piece of work. The finished size is 43 1/2X 25 1/2 found a place to order over-sized mat board but as always with the over-sized stuff the colors are limited. Not sure I could get something as exciting as I picked out for this on the left. oversized mat board
Standard size mat board is 32X40...way too small. If I can get a good color in over-sized (40X60) for this which would be plenty big I could put a 3 or 4 inch mat around it. If I am going with a mat it might as well be 4 inches in my opinion......which would make the piece total size with overlap 51X33.
If I go with just a frame and spacers to separate the artwork from the Plexiglas it would look nice too. Just depends on what I could get for over-sized mat board colors to make it worth my while. I did find some frames that would definitely do the work justice without a frame. Here is an example of the artwork un-matted.
Love it with the mat because it picks up the warm hues, but without is pretty too. Makes the blue jump more. I'm afraid you're going to sell it before I even get there to see it -- Its so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI am not going to sell it from out from under you girl! I made it with you in mind. Unless you want something else it waits for you. If not it will get posted to sell. I started another birch painting a little smaller this time.
ReplyDeleteI think I would like it with a blue mat better but I am partial to blues
