Don't know how good these will show as I had to reduce them down so much.  Helped make the frames ... my sister did the paintings of my horses.  One thing I did learn, I will not be using high gloss again.

I like number 2 better goes with the subject best (Just my opinion). I mostly use a satin finish it is softer and easier on the eyes.

Very nice work on the frames.  I use only satin finishes on them as glossy tends to distract from what is being framed.  Just my opinion though.  Your sister did great on the horses.

I like them both, for different reasons; as Gabby said, #2 fits the subject matter better (and I think it's a cool design) and #1 looks like a very nice miter cut, which I admire.

Great job.

Are these your first frames?

My brother in law likes the gloss .. I don't.  I "helped" with the frames but he did most of the work.  I did the routing on the mitered one.  I have to make my own as "homework" in the near future.  My sister does great oil paintings and I am trying to do something to incorporate the scrolling and paintings together.

Great job on the frames, Marion.  Did you make a lap joint with your router on the second one??  How did the lessons go?
