Are these oil paintings, Pam?

I think I've read somewhere that common practice for watercolors is a nice mat and a very neutral (inexpensive) frame) so that the buyer later can choose what they want.

I'm about to have a local framer frame a larger pastel of mine (not a portrait) so I'm interested in hearing other peoples' responses to your described dilemma. In my case, I know that I am unlettered in the art of making a beautiful presentation, so I want an expert to do it for me - at least this time. I did a quick bit of research last night on framing, and learned a lot about how the presentation can "date" a good picture or make it look quite contemporary.
