    Portraits need a frame so I put it in a bamboo window. I may be getting silly but it seemed to need a second frame?

    I tried half a dozen different setups and nothing worked. Then as i wandered out and closed the door I realized what a nice frame the window could make. Many attempts later this is what I was left with.

    That works fine, particularly at full screen size.

    thank-you. I am taking an online course on the history of art in the Renaissance and i am trying to apply some of the techniques the masters used. In this case linear perspective to give a 3D effect. Here's a link.

    Absolutely lovely! I like the contrast between the rough bamboo and the formal frame. It works for me...

    Apparently it never hurts to pay attention to the masters of old.
