I took this photo for a buyer in Malaysia so she could see what the frames looked like on these two miniature oil paintings. The 25 cent piece and the house key in the picture are there for scale reference.
She decided she wanted to have these little jewels framed herself so I'm mailing them unframed. I'm glad to give her the choice; I want her to be pleased.
Framing is such an individual decision based on personal taste and often, decor. It's hard to guess what a future buyer might want. I'm a painter, not a framer.
So, sometimes a buyer wants the paintings ready to hang in the frames I've chosen and other times they prefer to have them framed themselves. Either way is fine with me.

Miniature Paintings, Framed or Unframed?

These are great, Diana. I really like the miniature format. Decoration-wise, you can do very interesting things with small gems like these.
Indeed you can. An arrangement of little 'uns on the wall is a visual delight, I think, and gives a lot to look at. Plus, finding and collecting them is fun for buyers.
I've had collectors tell me how excited they were to find my small paintings to add to their already large art collection. Most everyone has room for something tiny.
