Gold Frame

So how do you like my frame? I actually found the frame before I painted the picture, so I could cut the cardstock to the right size before starting. This was back before I was taking any art instruction, and later one art teacher told me I should have added white to the yellow on the flowers to make them brighter. The yellow paint, even if applied straight from the tube, just could not be as brilliant as I wanted—and I never thought of adding white! See this technique demonstrated on my other flower painting, Fireworks, right here.
