On behalf of Expert Village, I am Debbie Reeves at John's Design Center and I am here to tell you about custom picture framing. So, here's a painting that does not need any glass. It's an oil painting and you have different choices here. You could just do a simple frame like this one that we've chosen. We've also got another one here that is very similar but darker. It picks up different looks in the picture. But, one of the things that you can also do...(I'll put this one over here)...you could use a liner with this painting. We have a linen liner and a gold fillet. So, it's a completely different look. It is a larger piece so if you have a large wall, this would look very nice. Or, you could just do it with just the frame alone and no linen liner. Either one is going to look absolutely gorgeous on this picture.
