I think I will try this previously horizontal painting as a square format next time I put it behind glass. I unframed it last week because the non-glare glass was very dirty. I had forgotten how much of the painting was being hidden under the mat and discovering the little tree on the left edge made the whole composition feel a little more like a secret garden. See the old painting below and tell me if the new format looks any better. Today was super nice because while we were having our Portland Plein Air Painters meeting at O'Connors someone spoke to me about buying my painting hanging there this month! Made my day! Hope you too had something great happen today!
