I love the way your painting looks framed, don't you? That mat is beautiful...it has a linen texture and it goes so perfectly with the neutrals in the painting. The framer pressed the painting in a print press to flatten it, by the way, and it looks absolutely flawless.

In my humble opinion, you should always hang some of your own work. It helps you remember where you've been, and the really good pieces inspire you when you're in a slump. You do SUCH lovely work...you should be proud of it! I'm proud to have it hanging in my home.
