Those bright frames have me thinking...I got swindled* into buying a painting from his guy in Venice last summer:
I was just thinking that I need to get it framed before it gets ruined sitting in plastic. I was going to put it in a plain white gallery frame, but I wonder i it would look cool in a fancy gilded frame spray-painted a pretty color? Hmmm... Explosions of Dots aside, I have been drawn to simplier aesthetics these past few years. I need to mull this over. The painting is of a canal and similar in style to the one in the photo. Oh, except mine has a big bent edge from where it got caught in the train as I tried to reboard the train in a MAD PANIC after I got off alone in the wrong town en route to Florence and realized it after the doors closed and I was standing alone in the station.
I am always drawn to the most random prints that I have no idea how I will use. I always thought that I'd do something like this when I finally lived somewhere with more than four walls.

*Piehole, would you say "swindled" or "strong-armed?" Letters of Reference from Frank Sinatra aside, he did kind of yell at me. Maybe "suckered" is more like it. Even that curator guy from the Peggy Guggenheim museum didn't want to pay his prices.

Ha ha ha - your train incident sounds like something that would happen to me!!
I really love that the frames "match" the background colors - I think they're pretty cool actually.
But if you want to unite a diverse variety of prints and pics, using the simpler frames would work best.
