Framed Antique Floral Wall Hanging

Recently, I acquired an original oil painting from a local thrift store. To be honest, I was initially drawn to the vintage frame that the painting was in. The price was right, so it came home with me. The longer it sat, ready to be unframed, the more I grew to love the painting itself. [...]
