Show me how you have your Graig Kreindler painting displayed

Scott,
Congrats on a beautiful painting.
As many here I too enjoy a Kreindler masterpiece in my home.

I debated the frame to not frame issue when I first got mine as well.
I think there are two parts to the choice. First is the picture itself as Max went into in detail.
The other is where/how you're going to hang it. If it's by itself, then only nature of the picture should really matter. If it is surrounded by other framed works, it might look better matching the surrounding items.

At the time, I did ask Graig about framing. He referred me to Dean(his agent) for a recommendation. I never followed up because the spot it rests in now is only temporary until we finish the basement (hopefully this year)

Currently mine is unframed and looks fantastic. It is hard for me to believe that a frame could make it look any better than it does.

For those interested.

BTW, I just reread that thread. In post 9 Graig addresses the question about framing.

Gee, I hope this doesn't make me a whore. I've always thought of myself as more of a private escort.

Thanks Mark!
I appreciate you checking in and providing your thoughts and the link to the thread when you received your Lou Gehrig painting. I actually read this when you first posted it, but had forgotten about its existence.

I agree with Randall that I love the pictures of you receiving and unwrapping Lou. It's just like Christmas Day as a kid!! Awesome!!
BTW, I've always preferred the term "private escort" as well...

Geez, with all these private escorts around I feel like I'm in Vegas! By the way, FWIW, I like how paintings look both framed and un-framed but I think it really depends on where it is in the house, what other things are on the wall around it, color of the walls, etc. Anyway, I don't think you can go wrong doing either.
