Cottage Painting

First I found this lovely table cloth - hand work, not machined. Then the flower patterned cushion and the silverplate. Added my teacup and shutter and had a vignette.

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.
