Happy New Year 2021!

Dear Folks ! 😁 

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all ! Wish you health and happiness and smartness and lot of energy to survive all unexpected. Together we can move the mountains.

To tell how 2021 started we need to mention 2020th that passed. At the very last days of the past year we received a request for the painting. We are so thankful to the buyer who definitely "made" our New Year Eve ! Now we are into the lockdown (COVID quarantine) and have time to prepare the painting to shipping.

This is the painting that found the new owners and will be leaving us very soon.

We started from cleaning dust and firming the background surface.

The next step - to build the frame.

Normally we don't deal with framing, but in this specific case we will. Since virus-situation is still very bad, visiting of frame-shop would be tricky for our customer.

We have nice frame that fits the size, but color ... Our frame is dark brown with some golden elements, it looks gloomy and will make winter landscape even darker then it is. 

So we will turn it into white!

For getting steady color - will do it in very slim layers and let it
for a night for complete drying before covering the next one.
