ABOUT STUDIES
When you buy an artist study, you are really buying a special piece of the creative process. Not only is it an affordable way to collect original art but it captures the heart of the experimental expression.
This collection of small stand alone pieces are for the most part abstract in nature — and an expression of hope and possibility. They guide and inform the creation of the following collection of abstract landscape paintings. While some pieces explore new colour combinations and layers, others sketch out possible compositions.
They work well as art wall pieces and in groups, adding personality and intimacy to quiet nooks.
Depending on your space, you can keep them intimate or frame them for maximum impact — ideas below.

There are many options for framing — depending on your preference. I have had 2 pieces framed for ideas and convenience but decided to keep the rest unframed so that you can pick what suits your particular needs and preferences. {They are also easier to ship unframed}.
The last photo shows an example of framaing of pieces on linen with irregular edges and shapes mounted on foam core and floated behind glass in a raw Tasmanian Oak frame. I chose this option to highlight the irregular shapes and so the whole piece can be seen, edges and all.
Other options include matting and framing as you would for a print or work on paper. The matting would cover some of the edges where the painting is to the edge of the surface. The advantage of this style of framing is that you get a regular square or rectangle if you prefer a more regular uniform shape.
Border or matting width
With most options you can opt to add white space around the piece, creating either a small or large border.
If you like the intimacy of a small work you can go for a smaller matting area and keep the piece, including the frame, small.
If you prefer to have the small piece make a larger impact on the wall — filling more of the wall space — you could go for a larger matting area.
