A major consideration in determining whether a painting should be framed is the thickness of the canvas and whether the artist has painted the sides. If the sides haven't been painted, a frame will invariably enhance the painting. If the sides have been painted but the canvas is thin (I would say 3/4" or less), the painting may be enhanced by a frame; in Johnny's case, I think a shadowbox frame would be great if it's on a thin canvas. For thicker canvases with the sides painted, my preference is to leave them unframed. As well, the larger the painting, in my view, the better a painting normally looks unframed. However, the decision on framing any painting is of course how you will like the look. Graig can no doubt add a more considered opinion. Max
