Some Russian frames and paintings



I've managed to take a few photos of some paintings and frames during my holiday break. These paintings are by Igor Sushenok, who is a professor and teacher of art at a school in Moscow, a number of paintings are on display at the school.
Very impressive paintings, with some good frames too, the frame on the top painting (with piano and Mrs Framemaker) is a wide natural wood profile with quite a 'rustic' look (don't like this word to describe frames but can't think of a better one), I think this 'tree like' frame is very appropriate for the painting. 
The second photo is a wide cassetta frame, with gilded and painted finish, I've always liked this style of frame.
