I took 2 years of art framing and do understand the relationship between the art and frame as they are spearate BUT become one when united. <br /><br />In my experiences of shopping with clients for art, studying art, and enjoying it so much. That when it time to add art to your home it's important to work around the art and unite it in a room or give it it's own unique space.<br /><br />BetteAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115674582600945465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571340508841427418.post-69007950334606605312012-04-24T02:30:02.410-07:002012-04-24T02:30:02.410-07:00Dear Helen,

Don´t the colors melt?<br />To answer your question, I pay especial care to the frames of a painting, as they have to fit both the painting and the decor of the room/house.<br />I wish to hang only paintings, which " speak " to me, so I am able to part even of an inherited painting, if I don´t like it.<br />Since you are somewhat aware of my past, you might understand, that paintings from my childhood home are not hanging on my walls. I only have one, which I connect with my grandfather, whom I liked in a special way.mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571340508841427418.post-66685871237538142292012-04-22T20:34:14.236-07:002012-04-22T20:34:14.236-07:00Gorgeous setting for painting and you have capture...Gorgeous setting for painting and you have captured the vivid sunset beautifully with your camera!
