When I was in Florida, I painted these watercolors of our view of the beach from our condo. But when I got home, I wasn't sure what to do with them. They were not a standard size, to pop into a ready made frame, and not that great that I wanted to spend money on a custom frame for them. Plus, they looked better up close, they were not paintings that showed much from across a room, so wouldn't display well on a big wall.
These floating glass frames were on sale at Hobby Lobby, and didn't have to fit exactly like a matted frame would have. (although they do fit better than they look like they do in this photo, it is shot from an angle)
Cheap, easy, and I like the way the sandy colored wall shows through from behind the glass. That would have been a good mat color!
Hanging them on this narrow wall at the bottom of the stairs was a good solution too. All viewing of them is from close up, the way they show the best.
And walking through here to go to my studio is a nice reminder of a wonderful trip.
These frames are PERFECT💗
What a wonder idea! Love the way the wall shows through!
I’ve loved floating frames for years but they’ve often been hard to find. Glad to hear Hobby Lobby has them regularly.
Those floating frames do solve problems, Jeannie.
Thanks, Suzanne, its a little bit of vacation year round, I pass these as I walk to my studio each day.
They are beautiful paintings and in the perfect location to be lovely vacation reminders…
I am trying to persuade my husband that we need to spend some beach time at Siesta by the Sea.
Maybe next year🌴❤️🌴
Suzanne, its the most beautiful beach!
