I think that a gallery wrap adds a more contemporary feel to the piece. As for frames, I gave up gold frames long ago in favor of very simple black ones, about 3" wide, with a slight orange undertone showing through. I find they sell better than gold in our area. I buy them from Glaser Frames in Denver.Joanne Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706183026187442825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678045949975997605.post-38957509930254765032010-05-05T15:25:38.384-07:002010-05-05T15:25:38.384-07:00Hi Joanne!...

My first visit... love the colour harmony... use of contrasts and design in this piece!<br /><br />I successfully use both traditional framing and gallery wrap canvases in exhibiting my work... as I feel the need. There is little question that many "new" clients are younger and that their decor and colour tastes are quite different than those of a decade ago.<br /><br />Gallery wraps eliminate the need to invest heavily in framing... for the artist and the galleries. It also permits potential clients to better fit the framing to their own personal tastes... and save money at the same time.<br /><br />As well... I find that some subjects "speak" better and are not "playing second fiddle" to the frame around the piece. Just some ideas to consider.<br /><br />One other advantage for you would be that one always faces risks of damaging wooden or gilded frames transporting them... taking them down... etc.From my own outdoor show experiences... this did indeed occur!<br /><br />Best of luck with your work... its great!<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Regards,<br />Bruce ShermanBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678045949975997605.post-26047530101159605262010-05-05T06:29:36.924-07:002010-05-05T06:29:36.924-07:00thanks Janice!

Actually, it is beautiful here year round, but I really like the golds of the aspen against the dark green trees and our blue, blue sky!Joanne Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706183026187442825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678045949975997605.post-921719649932354002010-05-04T20:13:08.436-07:002010-05-04T20:13:08.436-07:00What a beautiful scene...I am just in love with th...What a beautiful scene...I am just in love with the color palette that you used!
