#482 matted

I matted 36 pieces the last couple days. I’d like to get away from ‘framing,’ but so many of my pieces, especially the smaller ones, none more than the metalpoints, look so much better when they have that focus.

Here’s a crow quill ink piece… the one that started as a drawing of a crumpled paper bag. I think it’s pretty striking in tonal contrast, and in the detail… which doesn’t show so much here.
