The finished painting
Once completed I can email you examples of how your painting will look when framed and mounted. Please ask (or see below).
Paintings usually look better when both mounted and framed. Cream with gold is usuallay a good bet. If considering a mount ask that it be cut with a slightly wider bottom edge, it improves the look of the image and stops it "dropping out" of the bottom of the frame.
When considering colours of the mount and frame it is a good idea to use some of the colours used in the painting itself.
Frame only: - note how the image looks smaller than the mounted ones.
