I have a thing for frames, especially big, bold, gold frames — the older the better! The spectacular carvings, patinas and styles draw me in; and I often find myself studying the frame as much as the artwork. Looking through pictures from our recent trip to Nemacolin, I saw this one and found myself leaning in to admire every beautiful detail. Like jewelry, frames add the perfect finishing touch; and I need more pictures of frames.
I praise you, Lord, for time to pause and ponder beauty.
