Does anyone have any tips on constructing frames for original pieces? What tools should I invest in? Also, do you prefer to purchase your art framed or unframed? #art #artframing

A few years ago, I worked as a Baker. I would come in at 4 AM and by the time I left, the sun was rising. I tried to recreate what it looked like when dawn hit the roofs of the businesses across the street. #BlueSkyArtShow #LightAndShadow
