To Frame or Not to Frame a Painting

I received some comments about the frames that I have been including on my paintings. They are classically plein air frames which are by definition, exceptionally wide. I happen to like them and I keep frames handy while painting in the studio because I like to look at the painting with a frame to get and idea of how it will look framed. However, in an internet setting I can see how the frames can dominate the painting. Also, my taste in framing might not be someone else's. So I have decided to show the paintings unframed. I have a friend who is a portrait painter who has the frame made when he finishes the preliminary painting. At the end of the day of painting he places it in the frame and it helps him to see it differently. His clients pay upwards of $25 k for the portrait and $5-10K for the frame. Of course the clients agree with the the frame so it is really a presold situation. I am glad to have had the feedback. I think I screwed up on responding. I would love to hear others opinions about framing. Keep in mind these paintings I am doing are very small 5 by 7 to 6 by 8 inches.
