As promised, here are the new miniature still lifes in their frames.  Almost always the right frames make a big difference  in a work of art.  These frames are floater frames, allowing the whole image to be seen, not covered by the lip of the frame. These types of frames are used with mediums like oils. Since these small paintings are painted on Ampersand Gesso board, the edges are cleanly finished which make a nice presentation. It is not easy choosing the right frame for a painting!
