Large canvas

This big painting on canvas is by Broadway artist Jeremy Houghton and has been framed in a gilded and painted frame (ref A160) which we use alot in various different hand finishes. Jeremy also paints in watercolours and he is an artist in the BT Art of Sport Exhibition which forms part of BT's activities for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad, it showcases the work of various artists who are producing paintings inspired by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games, Jeremy has done a series of sporting watercolours, working closely with athletes to really capture the Olympic spirit.

Olympics 2012

The Olympic games opens on July 27th, here is my little display to celebrate the games being in England this summer! The stock photo is one I used in an Olympic themed framing competition a few years ago, it has been temporarily put in this 18th Century frame, simply because it fitted. The photo was originally in the frame you can just see behind the easel which is gilded in gold, silver, and bronze. This frame is now used to hold a selection of newspaper cuttings and articles I have collected over the years.
I was very lucky to get a pair of tickets for three different events, so I am really looking forward to the summer games.
