FRAMED! - Plein Air in a better frame of mind!

Yes... same 16x20 inch Plein Air painting I'd done at a local county fair on June 27, 2013.
Five hours of work was initially in a cheap metal frame; too small to hold up, and too narrow to make the work shine. So, for about $30 bucks I purchased a well-fitting commercial frame, then for $20 more bucks, had it professionally framed.
I LOVE the result. The wall it's leaning up against is where it will hang; directly off the end of my bed in my master bedroom. The other painting (the one of the sail boat at sunrise with the GG Bridge) may just hang next to it. I have an identical frame for it, but 2 inches larger in both directions (18x20 for the other).
Update: as of 5/6/14 I'm giving it the title "Palms to Pars"
