I am showing the 'before' first, the 'after' follows. The refinished frame with the painting needed some additional decoration for a vignette so I grouped the crocheted table cloth with the painted chair (a previous post) and the painting.
I worked on the framed painting found at the same garage sale last weekend, a thatched cottage painted on the rough (back) of a piece of masonite.
The frame was brown. I thought it would look better white so I watered down my ASCP Old White a bit and gave the frame two coats. The next day I waxed and buffed and put the picture back in its frame.
Supplies:
frame (with picture)
newspaper (for mess)
ASCP and brush
Wax and cloth for buffing
pliers to remove nails/put nails back (reframing the picture)
Two coats of ASCP
over brown frame.
G. Ewing is the artist's signature.
Frame waxed and buffed.

I stay amazed at the transformations you do on run of the mill items. Yu really do turn them into 'works of art!'
ReplyDeleteThat tablecloth is absolutely gorgeous! Love the painting and the white frame is just what the Dr. ordered. I too love using old shutters. I have two that I painted robins egg blue on an old door shelf in my living room. Thanks for sharing this with Share Your Cup Thursday!
