Today, a frame style had been selected for the "Three Mesas" painting. The process in selecting a frame didn't take quite as long as when a frame was picked for the portrait painting two years ago. It took us two and a half hours to do.

We narrowed it down to my original first choice, a "scoop" style frame in pecan, and a pecan frame that is wider.
Along with Asya and I, the store owner and Asya's dad also thought the wider pecan frame looked better. (Yes, we almost got everybody involved!) In some views, it added more weight, or gravitas, to the painting.

Asya and I had a live video chat set up through WhatsApp, which was easy to do. She was able to talk and see the different frame styles in real time from St. Petersburg, Russia. I was at the frame shop in Gallup, New Mexico.
All in all, the selection process took about 35 or so minutes.
