Luz Maria Perez replied to Anne H. Ward's discussion Method of framing"Hi Anne,
I've tried finding good frames at many well known places (they shall remain nameless), but they do not specialize in plein air frames. The best service and the best frames for plein air are at kingofframe.com - Randy…"
lucy schwartz lucyschwartzartist replied to Anne H. Ward's discussion Method of framing"Anne, I am a water media painter and have done outside shows for 20 years. I watch the folks that come into my booth. I learned that if you use consistant framing , all the same profile that they tend to stay and look longer.The psychology of that…"

Bill Bonham replied to Anne H. Ward's discussion Method of framing"Hey Lynne, that's great and that makes the presentation part of your responsibility as the artist. Matt cutters and frame materials are very reasonable, plus you are not locked into standard sizes and frames made in China. Have you considered a…"
Lynne Haines replied to Anne H. Ward's discussion Method of framing"I do watercolor mostly Anne and my husband mattes and frames my work. I know I'm so special!!!!! Just lucky I guess. But if he didn't I was considering shopping at the Hobby Lobby and other art supply, or even Shopko type…"

Bill Bonham replied to Anne H. Ward's discussion Method of framing"Hi Jay, there are so many options. I spent several years as a professional framer. Today I build very custom frames for artist to present their work. I'm a second generation artist and my father built nearly all of the frames he used in his…"
Marilyn Rose replied to Anne H. Ward's discussion Method of framing"Well-said and so true. Also a good idea is to visit galleries where you wish to exhibit your work and see what styles are currently popular in that region for the type of art you create."
Bill Bonham replied to Anne H. Ward's discussion Method of framing"There are so many options to presenting your work that my response is too long to expound upon here. In my work shops " Presenting Your Art" there is a consistent thyme and some basic principles must be followed. What is the purpose of…"
Keith Thirgood replied to Anne H. Ward's discussion Method of framing"I was unhappy with the somewhat gaudy commercial frames I find in most art stores. As I paint in a rather rough manner, I felt I needed a simpler style frame than available. I decided I would invest in saws, nailers and a guillotine for cleaning up…"
Raya replied to Anne H. Ward's discussion Method of framing"I rarely frame my canvas work now. Since I began selling “direct to the public” at local art shows in Santa Fe NM I got tired of pulling about 50% of my canvases out of frames that clients didn’t want. Plus the damage a frame…"

Steven A. Simpson replied to Anne H. Ward's discussion Method of framing"Anne, the best deal I have ever found in framing is a series of gold, ready-made frames that are sold by AC Moore. They only have a few sizes, and they are rather plain, but are finished in a gold-colored metal leaf and look great with a plein air…"

- Anne,
I wish I could paint more outside. That's how I started painting landscapes at the beach in the late 70's. Now there is this huge movement to do it.
I teach HS & run an art gallery in Sneads Ferry I will try to catch up with some of you all and do some paintings.

- Anne,
Just read you comment. Yes, school is in. I plan to be in two art shows next weekend. Hampstead Arts and Taste of Topsail. I'll let you know how they were.
Glad you have the Friendship piece I did. It was recently featured on Women of Onslow Magazine.
