I’m not voting because it depends on the room…nice, formal, tidy and organized? Mat. Bohemian, eclectic, with furniture from both grandmothers? No mat.
All those who voted for the “larger frame and mat” write-in candidate – You REALIZE THIS MEANS I would need to buy a new frame and mat. You realize I just swore to Gary we were set for life with frames and mats.But of course, that’s what I’m going to do. Another mat (sigh) and the existing green frame. It’s going in Gary’s room, since I see every flaw in it.
Judith – Okay … but then i have to decide on the mat color….75 – Nope – you never give your art away unframed. It will be tossed. My watercolor teacher taught me that.

I am for the mat as I like how it pulls your focus into the center of the piece.
Mat. Definitely.
mat!
Another vote for mat, unless it’s going to be hanging with things that don’t have a mat.
Mat for sure!
I also vote mat.
No mat, the mat covers too much of the actual art.~Z~

Larger frame with mat.
Oh, and lighter color frame, so it doesn’t overwhelm the pastels.
Larger frame w/ mat so can see more of the pic. Looks better with a mat.
definitely mat.
I’m firmly in the no mat camp–unless you get a bigger frame. As it is the mat covers too much of the picture.
Yes, mat – and maybe a lighter colour frame.
