Art Tip 107:

Oil Paintings Belong With What?

Oil paintings are focal points themselves, meaning, apart from really good and tasteful picture frames, they don't really require anything else to go with them. They don't have to be over a dramatic fireplace (which will melt the painting anyway!) and they need not be near a tall plant or grouped with other paintings.

If you must put an oil painting with another one, ensure that it is also an oil artwork. Do NOT group modern black and white) artworks in sleek minimalist frames with an oil painting in an antique gold frame!
