Photo-a-Day - Sept 2012 - Day 12:  Frame

There is no more perfect artist than nature.  Yet the addition of this elaborate gold plaster-on-wood frame around a simple perspective really shows off the wonderful greens of nature, against the grey of the patio, the warmth of the new wood fence and the angled simplicity of the handrail and balusters. 

The frame is one I received from my friends at Creative Framing and Gallery in Oakland.  Another customer had brought in a piece they wanted re-framed in a modern manner. This frame was left behind but wasn't one the shop was going to reuse.  Rather than throw it out, they were kind enough to give it to me. 

It's just waiting for the perfect piece.  Actually, I'm thinking of suspending it, as it is, from the ceiling in my main bathroom.  Why not.
