Julie, thanks for the feedback. Your right about how a frame style can influence how a painting is perceived, or just seem out of tune with the subject. My paintings are pretty modern looking because of the urban architecture and contemporary dress of the people in them. My friends thought that the frames I've been using weren't modern enough.

Your comments made me think. Maybe if I'm willing to take the step of showing my work off to the very best advantage, then I should find a framer that I really trust and just spend the money (within reason) and have them all framed individually.

I'd like to know how many people buy paintings in frames they intend to replace.
