Eye on the prize

Ever since I moved into the apartment three years ago I've been wanting to find a small painting for the dining niche, something small, an oil maybe, with an ornate gold frame to offset the modernism of the niche's design.
Coincidentally, my friend Jim has been taking painting classes, and he has a surplus of canvases that he's created. I jokingly told him I wanted one and he kindly said, "yes". Yay.
He texted me a small (5" x 7") oil study of an eye.

















I immediately loved it and thought it would be a great solution for what I'm looking for.
I Photoshopped his painting into frame to see what it would look like:





















Jim was in Michael's, the craft store, the other day. He brought the painting to see if there was a frame that would work. He texted me this one and it was only $11. Perfect.





















And here is the real painting nicely placed in the niche. I'm very pleased with the outcome.
