I have been working on different framing techniques for my Chromascape series. Some variations include adding a space and not varnishing. These are two samples. Both leave a space, but one is raw and one is varnished. It’s hard to decide which way to go, as I feel they need to all be the same but the different colors compliment different paintings. Another option I am considering is not framing at all but cleaning up and painting the sides of the panels. In doing this I use the color of the under painting, which accentuates the under painting. I am not sure where I will go from here, but I have to make decision soon as I have a few shows coming up!
