This would be great in a library, office or farmhouse style mudroom and for anyone who lovers horses and has a sense of humor.

The half horse is a vintage oil painting, with a new burgundy colored mat, and in a vintage rustic gold leaf frame. It is fairly lightweight. The measurements are 11x14.5x.5 and the item is ready to hang.

To create my gallery collections, I collect vintage art and frames from antiques shops, flea markets, hand me downs or anywhere else I may happen upon them. I also use my own artwork/prints and photographs at times. Each frame is cleaned and repaired, sometimes repainted, and each piece of artwork is cleaned when possible and sometimes cropped to fit into an old frame. Each grouping is thoughtfully curated using color, style or content to create cohesion and harmony. These are almost all vintage items and many of them have obvious aging, minor damage, and discoloration often creating a beautiful patina reflective of its age. These imperfections cannot be fixed, are intentional, and lend themselves to the vintage feel of items handed down over generations. The effort I put into sourcing the art and frames, refining the groupings, and choosing complementary mats, adding glass/plexiglass when missing, repainting frames, adding hanging hardware/rewiring is not insignificant and prices reflect those materials and labor as well as the overall quality of the art and frames. less
