This is from a couple of weeks ago. I didn't get to paint today because I used my son's nap to go and look for a new frame stock for my larger paintings. I am realizing that frames are very personal. What I choose may not work for anyone else. But it's got to work for the gallery, at least. But it's complicated. Can I find a style that works for every painting? And how much do I spend on a potentially thrown-away frame? And do I add that to the cost of the painting? Do I double that amount to account for the gallery's cut? Argh.
