20th century French provincial farmyard oil on canvas.

By J P Vezzeos

I’m strongly considering re colouring the frame, or at least the oak mount, possibly gold touch the plaster frame.
Years ago I wrote an article “To Frame or not to Frame” for Period Style Magazine, you can see on my website under Media.
I often re frame, re colour existing frame or remove frame completely, as the painting doesn’t need anything to compete with its beauty.
Usually on 17th century art. That’s just my personal taste.
I was going to colour the oak mount to the same deep warm brown of the farm house.
Then see whether to highlight the plaster frame or leave?
 One customer earlier today said, looks perfect as is! Maybe this has become more of a habit..
Such beautiful greens in this painting. Matching the 18th century English hepplewhite side chair.

19th century English pewter potty.

Used in displays for over 30 years.

Loved doing the ad with Russell Winnell in our home.

Russell was packing up his lighting when the boys arrived home from park.

They jumped onto the chair for a quick photo, I used this ad in many magazines over the years.

Also sat framed on their grandparents living room wall.

BTW, Charlie now 21, Luke 20.
