<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 8782978, member: 79705"]I'll stick my neck out here and say the frame is one of multitude of right choices. Lots of styles would suit. I'd personally go darker so the frame receeds to really evoke the "glistening sun on water" feel. The current frame has scratching and rubbing damage....so it at least needs a touch-up if it's being kept.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being an artist, but also a former framer, I can very confidently say lots of artists don't consider the frame as carefully. Some don't know what to pick, have no time to choose when they just want to get something up for a show, are trying to frame cheaply, think there's a frame style rule, or just simply pick questionable things. I think this one is a perfectly fine choice, but you shouldn't feel you have to keep something that doesn't suit you. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
