Now that I am nearing the end of the 2 Pittsburgh in the snow pieces I am starting to think about how to frame them.
With just a black frame?
With a double mat. White top mat, black bottom mat with white core showing?
With a white bottom mat and blue gray top mat?
With a silver top mat and white bottom mat?
With a white bottom mat and a textured black top mat?
I keep going back and forth on this one. Certainly better to see this in person that trying to guess what it really looks like from an online framing site. I guess I should not even think about framing until I design and make the 3rd piece in the series.
What do you think?
Thanks for reading.

I was ready to go with the light grey mat until I saw that last one. I really like how that sets off your piece the best. The white mat makes it read more like a photograph which is not a bad thing, and just a frame lets one focus just on the art. It reminds me of how I started mounting smaller pieces over stretched canvas and then mounting that in a floater frame. Very clean, very simple. Oh boy, though, I still flip back and forth and land on that last choice of black mat as my favorite..
ReplyDeleteI like how the blue gray mat brings out colors and images. Seems brighter...not so black and white. Beautiful finish!
ReplyDeleteNot number 2 the white on.
