proper proportion

I just wanted to make a quick note today regarding proportion. Many clients get scared when I suggest wide mouldings for their art. The fear is that the moulding will overpower the art and be a distraction. This week I can exhibit an example of modern frame proportion.
The image here is 20 x 24" and the moulding width is 4." Rather than detracting from the art, this moulding elevates and enhances the art, displaying it as the substantial work that it is. And it doesn't hurt that the moulding is a gorgeous "Belmont" veneer from Larson-Juhl.
