It doesn't matter where you go in life...
what you do...
or how much you have...
It's who you have beside you.
There was also a dedication to add to the little poem
I was unsure the best way to handle the dedication, but a friend said she makes the dedication part of the artwork so I included it as part of the vine.
The hardest thing about working on this piece was I was asked to have it framed. Usually, I don't get involved with that aspect, but I have done several pieces for this client before. Her instructions to me were they were an old-fashioned couple so they don't like the modern, black museum frames. A wooden frame, but nothing gaudy that would take away from the poem. Cost wasn't going to be an issue so I added non-glare glass. And the hardest part of the instruction, she trusts my judgement and taste.
This is what I chose at the framer's. What do you think?
I love how you wrote and decorated the quote, and the frame is beautiful, well done! Have a great start in the new week, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's so hard pick out decor for someone else.
DeleteThats lovely CJ! Your work is beautiful and i think what you chose as the frame is perfect.. Don't you hate it when people say that.. My boss will say that to me at work when i'm given a project and i just think..'OOoohhh booooy.." LOL ! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteMy thought was , "Whoa, no pressure." :-D
DeleteThis is really awesome work - I would be very pleased with this piece! I am sure your client will love it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you my Lady. I hope she approves
DeleteYour artwork is phenomenal!!!! ♥♥♥♥ I always have a hard time with frames too. Good choice of mat and frame! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. So if she hats the mat and frame, I'll just tell her Robin approved. =^,.^=
DeleteAnd in English that would be "So if she hates the mat and frame..."
DeleteLovely! And your choice of mat and frame suits the piece, which is really the main thing I think. They'll love it!
ReplyDeleteI hope so. It's so hard to know what someone else would pick
DeleteI can see how getting something framed can be difficult. But it came out super all and all. Hope it goes over well with your client, but how could it not? Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI hope she likes it.
DeleteI love your work! and the framing choices are just perfect
