ch-ch-ch-changes

well... i wasn't really happy with the painting and even though it was a learning exercise/gift, i still wanted to get to a happier place with it. so i went back in and made some changes.i do like it more now though i still can't say i love it...

i went over to Salvation Army and found a frame to refurbish. not only is it more economical (only $3 for the frame instead of $20+), i think it has more character than the cheap one i would have otherwise bought at the art store.

i forgot to take a picture but originally the frame was greenish and the mat was dark green. i turned the mat over to show the white side and cut it a little bit bigger using the mat-cutter i have. i painted the frame black and switched the hanging-mechanism from horizontal to vertical and voila! better than new! plus, i have this funny picture of a baby fox now - it came in the frame. it needs a speech bubble but i'm not witty enough to come up with something hilarious.

and here is the final thing, ready to be gifted.
