Larson Juhl Hudson Frames: Classic Plein Air Frame Design
The Hudson frames are designed with a plein air style, perfect for traditional outdoor paintings. Plein air, which means “open air,” refers to painting outdoors, capturing landscapes in their natural light. Artists who embrace this style often prefer classic frames that complement their artwork’s organic feel.
The Hudson frames are 3" wide, with a 5/8" rabbet and a height of 1 1/8". This cassetta-style flat-panel design provides a solid yet elegant presence without overwhelming the artwork. The combination of width and subtle height offers a balanced frame that suits both plein air and traditional art pieces.
Wider Than Comparable Frames
The Larson Juhl Hudson frames are wider than similar mouldings, offering a more substantial look. The Decor mouldings #8614 (gold) and #8615 (silver) are similar in design but only 2" wide. Hudson’s additional width provides a more prominent presentation, especially for larger works.
This wider profile makes the Hudson frames an ideal choice for plein air paintings. The broader surface allows the frame to stand out, highlighting the artwork without detracting from it. Artists and galleries value this added width, as it gives the art more presence while maintaining a refined look.
The Importance of Plein Air Frames

Plein air frames often feature traditional designs, like the Hudson frames. These designs enhance the outdoor subject matter while providing durability for transport and display. The hand-leafed gold and silver finishes of the Hudson frames add an extra level of sophistication, making them a perfect match for plein air works.
