Frames / by Jim Hathaway

Three frames this year, for three oil paintings. The ink paintings will be backed, trimmed and hung on the wall. I used to control the whole process; the frame and the scroll were part of the art. Japanese scrolls add the element of collage to the the work. The way Rouault used to paint on his frames inspired me as well.

This year I will make these three frames for the oils. I delegate the job of scroll or frame selection for the ink paintings to anyone who wants one enough to buy it.
