| “Vintage Toy Cars,” 8″ x 8″, acrylic on cradled panel in a 2″ deep handcrafted floater frame. |
SOLD
I used my husband’s old toy cars as the models for this piece. At more
than 35 years old, they were all pretty beat up and rusty, which I
loved.

I painted this quite a while ago, on a cradled panel, but I could never get
the sides of the panel to my liking, and after putting it away for
several months, I decided to custom frame it – a great decision because I
love the finished look! Thanks to O&M for the lovely handmade
frame, which blends a bit of a rustic quality with a contemporary look.
At 2 inches deep, the frame is quite substantial and gives the piece a
clean gallery-quality look.
The piece has a soft matte finish.
