I went for two because sometimes I think it's better to have pairs of things, including prints. Actually, four would be great now that I think of it! Since I only have two I'm going to hang them on a short wall (not a long wall b/c I think the prints would get lost). I think I'll hang one of top of the other. In terms of framing, I think I'll do a thin gold frame and possibly a colored mat, but I want to be careful about not making the prints look too cutesy. Have I made any sense at all? Hope this helps!The Peak of Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811933436075145329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-15533041251449241972009-07-24T10:01:19.778-04:002009-07-24T10:01:19.778-04:00I know from a previous post that you have one of h...I know from a previous post that you have one of his paintings, Jennifer. I've been wanting one ever since that post, but I can't decide on one or two. Do you still have just one and how do you have it framed and in what type of framing arrangement on your wall?<br /><br />Thank you!kathymnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15417941230049180044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-72960911123620111062009-07-11T04:45:13.844-04:002009-07-11T04:45:13.844-04:00i think a book of harrison's chinoiseries is c...i think a book of harrison's chinoiseries is called for. all in favor say "oui!"Lynne Rutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861049506323014982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-37815631664067854832009-07-09T03:00:19.859-04:002009-07-09T03:00:19.859-04:00His work is always so stunning!

Bravo to such a clever and disciplined talent.Diane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-69191646955477052672009-07-08T13:50:07.537-04:002009-07-08T13:50:07.537-04:00I've never seen his work before - I literally ...I've never seen his work before - I literally said "ooooooh!" out loud!
