Finishing Canvas Paintings and Giclees by Framing or Gallery Wrap

There are two ways to finish an oil painting.  When the image wraps around a canvas and the finished product is an image on canvas then it is called "gallery wrapped". 

When you frame a canvas then the image is finished by framming the canvas.  Both ways are accepted as professional finishes and are mostly the preference of the artist.

With my large images of flowers I prefer to finish my artwork by gallery wrapping.  This way the art always fits into the room regardless of the style, color or shape.
