We bought this painting in Hoi An, Vietnam on our trip this summer. We instantly fell in love with it.

We just got it back from a place called Further Frames here in Denver. @mclaincausey im sure you’ve been there. They are well known for their ability to make the framing itself artwork.

Used to live on the west coast for a few years and did a small 4x6 oil painting on panel for some very close friends of ours. This is the coast line of Avila Beach CA. Some great memories at this spot and a must if ever driving on the 101 and find yourself between LA and San Fran.

@Mizmazzle lovely! Yeah I know Furthur but have been unable to use them due to a combination of wait times and full collection up front. Their Insta is a lot of fun to follow.

We use Frame d’Art down in Englewood who have been quite excellent for us. I like how they radiused the corners of the matte on this one, which was never discussed and so was a really nice surprise:

Moving forward we’re gonna do our own framing. Kind of fun to do.

@flannel-slut that’s superb. Am I seeing kind of a bokeh effect there?

[flannel slut]

@mclaincausey bokeh… great term. Yes it is and thank you!

[mclaincausey]

So cool!

[flannel slut]

Thanks again man. More or less drawing the viewers eye to the mid ground

[flannel slut]

One more bokeh but this one being more traditional with the focal point being the foreground (kind of a boring comp I know but my mom wanted a simple seashell)

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey that is a great frame job. Frame d’Art is just a few blocks from my house. Always wondered about them.

[Mizmazzle]

@flannel-slut I don't find this composition boring at all. Honestly, i don't think I've ever seen the use of Bokeh in a painting before. Or maybe I have, but I can't recall ever noticing its impact quite so much as in this seashell piece. Quite striking!

[mclaincausey]

@Mizmazzle they’re good, just a bunch of old hippies who love music too but aren’t as specialized in it as Furthur, and probably not quite as wild with the creativity and boldness.

[flannel slut]

@Mizmazzle thanks buddy 🥰 and xoxo to your forum bias but there are soooo many legends who specialize in this whom I pale in comparison. I’m shit for referencing names but will def share some inspirations as I come across them.

Here is an in progress painting I am working on for house decor. I had the idea from the IH rug that we've seen on here. Found some circle canvases online and figured I'd give it a go.

I need to layer some white paint next all over to clean up where the blue isn't supposed to be. From there, another layer of blue and a second layer of white to finish it all up.
