In the old days (sorry to start my sentence there but it says it ALL) there were picture framers in every town – now i cannot find a one and if you can find one you must chop off your leg as payment. . Do you cut your own mats and frame your pictures yourself? Do you find yourself (like me) actually creating art in a size that will fit into ready made frame? I always sigh when the image demands I crop to a size that is hard to frame. c
Hi Cecilia; all good questions. I do cut my own mats but also have them cut for me. We have a wonderful art store http://opusartsupplies.com, which also sells online if your are interested. I use their ready made frames which are of great quality. For my works on paper I am very happy with a 15″x 11″ image that looks good in a 20 x 24 frame. Hope that helps. Best wishes…Andrew
I really liked this before Andrew; it looks stunning and perfectly balanced in this matt and frame. Its a power filled work, strong and commanding. I love how you managed to unite all the elements so beautifully. 🙂

Interesting concept. I’m going to back to my photos of the Vatican and take a closer look at some of the patterns on the walls and floors.

Thanks so much Debi. It never fails to amaze me how an image somehow comes alive with a simple mat and frame.
