Picture Frame

In yesterday's post, you may have noticed the picture in the background. We found this picture by D.L. Lawrence in a gallery in Taos, New Mexico. It is on canvas, but did not have a frame. Jeff made this frame using a picture in a decorating book as inspiration. It is made from pecan wood (from one of the trees we had to knock down when we built the house...more on that later). Notice the three stars at the top. I found 10 at a garage sale earlier in the year. He spray painted them and they are the perfect finishing touch!

Jeff and I saw this church once when we were exploring between Santa Fe and Espaniola. The picture is made right at sunrise, you can see the mountain in the background. The photographer is now deceased. He had such a great eye for pictures mostly celebrating the southwest. I am glad that we have one.
