It's Framed!

A few weeks ago I showed you guys the new fruit painting I purchased off Etsy. I took it to Hobby Lobby and had a custom frame made for it. They also framed it for me for FREE! Lets take a look.....

I hung it in my dining room right over my other painting.

                          Here's a close up









WOW it's mid-week already, this summer is going by so fast! Enjoy the rest of your week,  Martina

    Both paintings are lovely. The colors are so pretty and look like they match in the room very well. We must have similar tastes because our drapes are just like yours. Yours look great with the tassels. Shannon

    the painting is beautiful, the frame is beautiful, together they look lovely......

    however, i hate to be the only voice of dissent here, but someone has to say it...the proportions of the pairing with the larger print on the bottom are off.

    the print on the bottom is a slightly larger painting than the new pear one...and it then has quite a large frame around it....it is a bold framing, to say the least....therefore the top painting should also be a proportionate bold framing....proportioned to the bottom pic, i mean, if going to be hung together.

    good news is, you got the frame for free, its beautiful, im sure it can be used on something else, and now you need to measure and re-frame top picture with a properly proportioned frame.
