Garden Flag, Sally Looks Out at Spring

Garden Flag, Sally Looks Out at Spring is 11″ x 15″, design imprinted on one side of a cotton duck canvas fabric panel with a 1.5″ rod pocket sewn across the top. Bracket is not included.

Flags are printed on one side of a cotton duck canvas panel and I stitch a pocket across the top and roll up a hem at the bottom to keep it from curling.

I typically stock all garden flags, though I only print smaller quantities, usually no more than two or three at a time. If you’d like a quantity of flags, or a custom flag, please send me an email.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Spring

This painting is 12″ x 24″, and I offer dimensional canvases and full-size giclee prints, but I also offer a cropped version that fits into standard frame sizes and captures the left side of the painting only. Below is the story of the painting.

Years ago a patron of a gallery in Carnegie where I hung my artwork asked me to paint four images for a very special frame she had.

It had been designed and handmade in wood by her father-in-law, long and narrow, and had four openings, each 12″ high by 24″ wide. Each opening had its own piece of glass, and between each opening was a 1/2″ slat of wood as a divider. The outside border of the frame was 2″ wide and flat with hand carved figures which I believe were leaves, like a vine. Overall it had a warm and rustic appearance.

The frame came apart in the center so that there were two panels in each half, and art and glass slid in and out through this opening. The area for the artwork was barely deep enough for a piece of drawing paper, so he must have intended it for photos when he designed it. The frame locked together in the back so that the two halves held together and hung on the wall without sagging.

She was interested in pastel drawings on paper, which were a good choice for this since even flat painting panels would not have fit.

As soon as she described the frame to me I thought of painting the four seasons, in part because of the four sections of the frame, and it’s also a theme I enjoy here in Western Pennsylvania. The customer would enjoy it too, because I’d been to her house and large picture windows were placed to enjoy the landscape from all angles, and the view of the countryside was something she always mentioned.
