What a difference a frame makes!

I've recently seen some of my paintings AFTER they are in their new home.....framed and hanging on the wall.  Sometimes it even surprises me......I glance at it and then all of a sudden realize that "hey, that's my painting!"

I especially enjoy when people send me photos of a piece (often a gift) with their new owners.

I sell most of my artwork in a white standard size mat that can easily be framed (11x14, 16x20).  Places like Michaels and Home Sense have so many interesting frames.  Others choose to have the art custom framed and matted.  I can paint any size, but find it's helpful to most people to stick to these standard sizes.

Why don't I frame them for sale?  Well, a couple of reasons.......
#1.   Framing is a very personal choice and I would rather the customer choose the art that they love...on it's own.....and then find the frame that they love. 
#2.   I don't want to invest in the cost of framing.  I would rather keep my painting prices lower....you're paying just for the artwork not the frame.  The new owners can then choose to buy ready-made frames....or have it custom framed.
#3.   I don't want to haul framed artwork around to shows.  It takes up too much space, is heavy, and they are easily damaged. 

But because of that, I don't often see my art framed.  If you do have one of my paintings, please know that I would be very happy if you sent me a photo of it in it's new home!
