Untitled Frame Thought

"Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame."

This weekend I took a big step as an artist. For the very first time I printed one of my photos and framed it. I did this as a gift for another but in a fun full circle way it has become a gift to myself.

I was very frightened to see how these pictures would look once they were in front of me in a physical form. Some part of me thought that they only looked good on the computer and once I printed them, I could see the flaws and by extension, the amateur within. But to my surprise, it didn't look half bad, decent even. And boy what a difference a frame makes. All of the sudden I saw the professional in myself. Now I can't stop thinking about all the work I've done and all that I will do and how I will display it proudly in my home.

For once, I feel like I have accomplished something and I feel swell.
