Framing is expensive, whether you have the skills to do it yourself or take it to a framer. This painting which fills almost all the wall; ceiling to floor would be about $300 to frame if it was a home made job.

Good luck.

Sandy...I have purchased a frame the size I need or used an old one I have and removed the back and glass and glued to the canvas. Looked nice.
I would check out my local big box store and see what they have to trim pieces to build it out of.
