I have selected 3 sketches to hang in my house and brought them in to get framed. I double matted them with white and black mats and then chose a simple black frames. This allows the black and white sketches to pop! I like brighter and darker paint colors than most people and these simple sketches really POP against those walls. I have hung these as a set in my dining room and have gotten lots of compliments- before I even say that they are mine.

I have to say I was reluctant to spend the money to get the frames and mats made… it felt so indulgent/vain to spend money on my own art work but now that I have… I am so glad that I did. Oddly enough, seeing these sketches on my walls make me want to frame some photographs so now I am getting re-inspired to create new art as well as looking through other past photos and paintings… All in all – a good step toward many of my goals!
