These fun, mixed media paintings are on heavy watercolor paper that will fit inside a standard size mat or frame. They have been sealed, so you can be creative with other ways to display them as well. (some ideas: hang from a fancy copper binder clip, tape to the wall with colored washi tape, hang from a wooden dowel hanger) Buy a couple and group together, or add one to your gallery wall for a pop of color!
