Diana, this post is in reference to your question about how I would frame this 5"x7" Acrylic painting.
I do a lot of my own framing particularly on my miniatures and watercolors and of course the subject depicts the frame I would use. This is the frame I built for this painting. It is rustic and truely western and still has a look of class about it.

Winter on Poison Creek

I did this this morning as an exercise painting to begin my day and is from research this past winter of a scene along Poison Creek which is near Shoshoni, Wyoming. This area of of Central Wyoming is thousands of square miles of flats, broken hills and really bad water. Even water wells in this area is full of soda and will really pucker up ones mouth to try and drink it. Hence the name, Poison Creek. Just to the north is Bad Water Creek.
But it is an exceptionally interesting area for those wishing to explore it. Many miles of open country and full of wildlife particularly, Pronghorn Antelope.
