The framing can both take away from or add to a piece. It is important to choose a frame desing that enhances the artwork rather than distract from it. In this case I chose a very wide and visually heavy frame for the rhino because that animal is very wide and heavy. Also the darker color of the frame helps the brighter colors of the painting jump out.
As for the abstract, I chose a wide frame with a high gloss finish. This painting is laquered with a high gloss coating so that together they both look as though they are wet. Also, the pattern in the frame is similar to the patterns in the painting. And like the rhino painting, the dark frame helps to set off the bright colors on the canvas.
Your art is fabulous. Your style is very creative and unique and the colors make your animal portraits come alive.
