[Aquanet] advice requested

[pat davis]

Hi again, gang.

Now that I have recovered from Christmas overeating, I am seeking some 
advice from you. I have framed Elephant Rocks I   in Member Gallery Two 
in my usual way; that is, with a 2 1/2 inch white mat. Unfortunately, 
with the white mat, the painting totally dies at the edges, so I am 
convinced it needs something with more punch. Looking at the piece (11" 
X 15") can anyone suggest what colour mat would work? Should I totally 
change the mat or would it work okay if I just used a colour insert 
within the white mat?

TIA
