Two New Humorous Paintings and a Twist on Presentation


I've tried a little something different in the way of presentation with these last two paintings. Prior to these I have always built a box on the back of the paintings which brought the depth up to 1 3/4". The sides were painted with a color that complimented the painting and the presentation looked fantastic. The problem , aside from building the box and sanding the sides smooth ( which took a considerable amount of time) was one of space. The finished pieces took up alot of storage room. So with these paintings, I built a smaller box, which, when hung, gave the paintings the appearance of floating on the wall. Also they take up much less space.

Prints of these paintings are available on my humorous print site: www.humorousprints.com
