I was really happy with the results:
(Yes, the glare is pretty extreme here - it was 10 p.m. so I gave in to the flash and an overhead light...)
I bought the nicest frames I could afford for these without going over-budget. I wanted them to be dining room worthy, so I checked with her about the colors she has in there.

{Update: my sister Told me that she "finally" found a place to hang them in March; the junk room at her house. Her way of telling me she didn't care for them?}
