Framed Photos

I think I mentioned in a previous post that I had recently met a man who is a photographer and he also does framing and matting.
Until I met him, I had never considered framing my photos, let alone selling them as prints. He offered to teach me to frame and mat but so far our schedules haven't met up. I showed him a few pictures that I had had printed as 4 x 6's and he pointed out several that he thought would sell well.
Yesterday on our way to the auction hall, Dad and I stopped at Walmart and picked out nine pictures to print as 11 x 14 prints, finished size of 16 x 20 with the mat and frame.
He surprised me by picking up nine frames from Kohl's late last night so we had a framing party!! I was thrilled to see my pictures in frames, looking so professional! I can't pick a favorite, but I think the combination of frame, photo and matting in the first picture is beautiful! The colors just seem to pop out!!
I will probably start trying to sell some of these at the auction(not on the auction, just in the lobby) and possibly doing some craft shows where I can display both my pictures and my books :)

Frames certainly enhance any photo or painting. My wife is a watercolour artist and her paintings look so much better framed, or even just set behind a mount.
I think I've seen most of these pictures and they look very impressive framed, I too like the first example but the 2 tractors would still be my firm favorite.

Framing in itself is an art form-,you really do take wonderful pictures- you capture the feeling- I just may see one of those photos to help sell a frame and you know what- I know I'm guilty of buying the frame and leaving the photo that came w/it because I liked it...I see that happening w/your photos as well- getting 2 great talents in a frame!
