New Framed Series Makes Great Wall Art Grouping

Introducing NOT JUST BLACK AND WHITE A Series of Small Framed Paintings

Three of this small series of framed artworks are already sold.

Are you a fan of small-scale artworks that pack a punch, especially for a wall art grouping? Then you'll love my latest series titled NOT JUST BLACK AND WHITE. These 17 small paintings, each measuring 13 x 13 inches (including the professional black frame), are now available.

But don't let their size fool you - these little gems can make a big impact in any room. Just one painting can be the perfect focal point for a small niche. Grouping wall art of two or more together is a popular interior design trend that never gets old. These paintings, with their cream mats and black frames, look stunning in any arrangement.

Please contact me directly if you’re interested in these one-of-a-kind small framed original paintings.

Just one of these small original paintings makes a sophisticated statement in any small space.

Sometimes though, you may be tempted to fill a whole wall with artworks. Check out my list of ideas below for creating a gallery wall.

MORE ABOUT THIS SERIES - perfect for a wall art grouping

Not Just Black and White

I created this series during the winter months when I would drive to my studio every morning and look out over the frozen Detroit River. The sunlight reflecting off the snow inspired me to capture the hints of color and shadow in the distant landscape. The result is a collection of abstract paintings that are both serene and dynamic, with bold brushstrokes and subtle details that draw the eye.

Each painting in the NOT JUST BLACK AND WHITE series is created with acrylic on heavy watercolor paper, and the surface is protected with UV varnish to ensure its longevity. I've signed each one on both the front and back, and they are all unique originals in the series.

These paintings come museum-matted and professionally framed, ready to hang and display in your home or office.

Whether you collect just one small treasure or would like to create a grouping of two or more artworks for small spaces, these paintings are sure to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room.
