Harold,
I do like the look but have to agree with Diane that the classic black frame with white matte board really shines and is more elegant. This new look I think can lean towards a bit of a commercial look.
Harold:
I like it. In fact, I am in process of putting together a gallery presentation of some of my light paintings with a very similar method of framing. Will send you a photo via separate e-mail to show you.

It's a really nice contemporary look, and I can certainly understand the need for this type of
thing when shipping. But there's just something so elegant and pure about a traditional white mat with a simple black frame, especially when used with such a dark print.
