Thought I would bump this thread where I was soliciting ideas on how to best display a painting...
The Johnny Vander Meer painting that Graig Kreindler recently painted for me is now officially on my wall.
After giving this much consideration, I opted to use an interesting framing choice to display Vandy. Max Weder (baseballart on net54) provided some great advice on considering using a shadow box frame. Thanks Max!
I chose reclaimed old red barnwood as the choice of the actual frame itself.
I felt that the red in the frame would really make the red pinstriping and lettering on his Cincinnati flannel uniform pop. Max's idea about using the shadow box allowed me to slightly lighten the image and not hide the canvas three dimensionality of an original oil painting.
I'm really happy with the end result. I hope you like it as well!
