Framing:

You may choose to have your painting frameless - your painting would be
on a wide edge canvas, painted around the edges, wired and ready to hang.
If you intend to have your painting framed, please let me know - I can
arrange excellent framing for you according to your style, or
you may take the finished painting to your own framer.
All paintings will be on stretch canvas.

A few framing tips:
If selecting your own framing, I believe wider is generally better.
A small narrow frame can easily spoil a painting.
Consider using an insert as well to create more depth with your wide frame.
Glass is not required for oil paintings.
