Oval Hummingbirds | Hunt Slonem, 2022

A frame can make or break an artwork. It can also break your budget. The greatest shock to a new art buyer is the cost of a frame. More than once, I have spent more on a frame than the art itself. That is why it is so exciting when art comes already frame. No hidden costs, the art comes ready to go on the wall. A good frame compliments the artwork while not overpowering the artwork.

And now about this painting. A beautiful pink garden scene of birds and flowers. It is a lovely work full of color and fanciful brush strokes. This bright and fun scene is contrasted by the dead space of the gold frame and the sophisticated ornate corners. A balanced piece of art.
