Item Description

This abstract piece was chosen for this auction by the artist.  Teal (ribbons) are the color that represent cervical and ovarian cancer.  The green color in this acrylic pour painting reflects light brilliantly in contrast to the white background of this abstract piece. These lively teals, greens, yellow-gold convey movement, hope and optimism.  You can orient the square frame four different ways to create different impressions. What you see is left to the interpretation of the observer.

The painting measures 8" X 8" and is mounted in a 8.75" X 8.75" handcrafted wood frame.  There is a small split in the wood on one corner of the frame.  

Vetter Photo Frames is a family business located in Humboldt County, CA.  All of their frames are made from re-purposed redwood.  Each project is, therefore, one of a kind. Their redwood comes from homes, businesses, fences and Humboldt Bay.  The wood recovered from the bay is called "picklewood."  Picklewood takes on a blackened look from the salt water.  Some of the wood dates back to 1919, the age of their home.  Colors vary by age and type of redwood.  Heartwood, old growth, and second growth give the projects their unique look.

Frames are made by Ron and Holly Vetter.  They spline each frame to ensure it lasts for generations.  Each frame is finished with a mixture of boiled linseed oil and gum turpentine.  

Made in Humboldt County, CA.
