This is awesome! You're really in a groove with this set.

That is very nice.
The picture of the living room puts a whole different perspective on it that we here on the web don't experience - the size of the work (even though you do post the size).
I'd suspect these you really must see in person to fully appreciate.

HEY DR BOB
Indeed. The amount of detail - so important in what strive to do - can't be seen fully. That's why my March 7th show will have a certain "WOW!' factor.

John:
Side note: Who does the framing? Any method on deciding how it's framed?

Why doesn't he just fly across?

HEY GARANDFAN
That "framing" is a little Photoshop magic. It only exists as a way to show the art convincingly in the living room photo..
Framing construction, style and color is almost another art form. For this one, I created a floating frame look and chose a dusky grey from the painting for the color. That fact it compliments the sofa color is another bonus.
A good framer will ask many questions about your sense of style before he goes to work.
