Lilacs - which frame to use?

Hello to everyone and thanks for coming over


Was doing a bit of catching up on the blogs and face book and came across some beautiful photos Jo Anne Colletti from Vintage Rose Collections, had taken, she is a clever cookie, you can go here to visit her blog. She kindly gave me permission to use the photos as inspiration for the painting I've finished below




Thank you Jo, it was a pleasure working on this one.


I had already cut and gessoed my board to suit the size of the frame belowbut......as I was painting I remembered I had another frame tucked away, similar size...hmmm??....thinking to myself, will the painting fit into the frame?, as you can see in the photo below, it did




I'm now puzzled on which frame I like best, or another thought's just come to mind, when I put this one up on my website for sale, I could offer both frames, the buyer could choose.

There you go, blogging sometimes does help you sort your thoughts out

~~

Hope your weekend's been a good one,

A little wet down here today,

I managed to get to the market and buy some tiny fresh roses, yes they really are tiny

I've once again used my trio of vintage bottles






Nearly forgot to mention...

A wonderful New blog -

I think you'll enjoy a visit over to "A Very Fine House", you can go here to see, added bonus they have a giveaway happening


take care

Beautiful painting Gail. If I was buying it I think I'd go for the white frame but I guess it is dependent on the room you are putting it in. Both frames look nice.

Oh tough decision Gail, they both look gorgeous...as does the sweet jug of lilacs....such a hard decision...sorry no help at all..
Love those little rose buds in their little vases too.
Hope your weekend has been wonderful,

Both frames look fabulous, maybe you should get the buyer to pick which one they want.
At least this afternoon the sun came out.

Hi Gail, I just brought some Lilacs into the house this morning...one of the last bunches since their time is going away now. Your lilacs are stunning.

I like the white frame the best...not just because of the color but because of the size most particularly, I feel it fits the stature of the painting better and really makes the painting look even more "grand".

Both frames are nice but I LOVE the gold one! Thanks for sharing the photo of your roses. Very pretty. Have a great day!

Ok so I love BOTH of these frames .... depending on the look you are going for...

I think the idea of letting the buyer choose is a good one... this way ... there is a better chance they will buy as opposed to not due to the frame itself...

The painting itself is stunning!

LOTS OF HUGS

Hi Gail! I like that GORGEOUS painting framed in the white one, as to me it accents the colors in the painting more. I love the gold frame, but the painting seems a bit lost in it. Hope all is well with you....xoxo to all~ Janet

Hi Gail love the painting I prefer the white frame but letting the new owner decide is a great idea. Have a great Mothers Day. Carol
