I like mine a little wider than the gallery choices but I am satisfied. I think a wider frame allows the painting to "breathe" without feeling restricted. I recently framed a little 8x10 ballerina painting and it totally transformed her - kind of magical, actually!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899318999574055763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-48403393933218556552019-01-31T15:30:47.236-08:002019-01-31T15:30:47.236-08:00Thank you, Jane and I love your title suggestion! ...Thank you, Jane and I love your title suggestion!

At art school they said the mouth was the hardest area to paint - and the eyes, the easiest! <br />Your large woman made me grin. Feeling fat after too much food over the holidays i am sensitive to other eyes scanning my tight clothes!! I may have an expression just like that. <br />Beautiful abstract shapes in the landcape pics<br />And don't the frames look great?!juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-58566427763969749282019-01-19T04:32:50.547-08:002019-01-19T04:32:50.547-08:00Love your portraits and how you build them with do...Love your portraits and how you build them with dots freely placed here and there in perfect places !
