Just got this back from the framers, and I Love it! *Still in the wrapping! The glass is non-reflective. You can hardly tell there’s glass at all! It doesn’t have a name yet! But, I'm considering TANG, or Popsicle...something along these lines. It is available — if you're curious! Always feel free to DM. Otherwise just appreciate here! 😍😍😍 I love painting large-scale, but I’m also LOVING these smaller works on paper! #mixedmedia #abstractart #pink #contemporaryart #contemporaryinteriors thank you @kelsoframes !!
