Framed at 13.25x17.25 inches in a matte black wood shadow box frame with plexiglass
Single matted with white Print at 8x10 Title - Sunburst This photograph was taken on a summer morning walk in the river valley. I got up really early so that I would be at the river when the sun rose. This was captured as the sun burst over the horizon. It puts the old Rossdale Water Treatment Plant and the Walterdale Bridge in silhouette. These are both iconic structures in our river valley. It was a great photo shoot in the river valley.

I was asked by a friend to frame a couple of pieces of art she has stored for quite a while. The one piece is a caricature which was done in San Francisco which came with a black mat. When I started researching frames I discovered the size 14x18 inches is a common American size but much less available in Canada. I was concerned I would not be able to find a frame. I had brainstormed some alternatives: cutting down the mat if needed, changing the mat, creating a custom mat for an 11x14 frame. I headed to Michaels in hopes of finding what I needed. I did find "one" frame in the right size among all the frames in the store. Fortunately, it was a wooden frame with a medium profile in black. Excellent.
The second piece was small but again not necessarily fitting in a standard frame. The art itself was 10 inches wide by 4.5 inches tall. The paper was 12 x 7 inches. I searched all the aisles looking for a frame that would work. I found this float frame which had the right proportions. It measured 6x12 inches and it was meant to hold 3 small photos and they would float between 2 pieces of glass.
Because the art now covered the full opening of the frame I decided to give it a hanger so it could be hung as a regular frame. Again, I chose a gold sawtooth hanger with screws. I placed a pencil mark on the midway point on the width of the frame. I aligned the hanger on the mark, used the awl to make starter holes and inserted the screws into the frame with my smallest Phillips tip on my screwdriver. Perfect. I am happy with the way these turned out. Getting ready to deliver them.
