When the letter came congratulating me that my painting "Morning at Phoenix Cleaners" was accepted into the Gilcrease Museum's "American Art in Miniature - 2009" show, needless to say I was ecstatic! Such a worthy venue deserved the perfect frame. Thanks to the exceptional help I received from Mary and Gary of Chelsea Gallery, "Morning" resides in just the right frame now. The painting is of a charming deco building on the South side of downtown Tulsa. Mary and I scoured the mouldings to come up with just the right shade of gold - really with greenish undertones and in this substantial, handsome zigzag profile deco-style. Thanks Mary!

Congratulations, Celeste. I enjoyed the Gilcrease and now want to go again to view your painting!
Thank you very much Ann. I can't wait to see all the paintings too. The exhibit opens October 24th and runs for about 3 weeks I think. You're right, it is a beautiful Museum!
Love the painting - and frame.
Congrats on being accepted to Gilcrease!
