What I mean was "Ho Hum" is my reaction to this sort of painting. I don't think it is bad art, merely of little interest to me personally. However, I recognize other people's legitimate right to love it and have no problem with that. | ||

Howard, Linda Casario's tea cups blew me away! Would love to see more of her work. | ||

Checked out the "Linda" interview. If you think this is good art you are way off base. Are you actually going to include this in your book? | ||

I give my clients instructions on how a watercolor painting should be framed. If they ask me if I can frame it, I take them to a nearby framing store that does an excellent job at a very reasonable price.

Thanks Marie! I took your lead with plein air painting and made an attempt myself this afternoon. Truly awful, but I want to keep practicing and maybe I'll paint something worth posting soon. | ||

I let the customer decide. Most of my customers have professional framers with whom they are accustomed to working, and, frankly, the professional framers do a much better job than I do. My own framing is bare bones -- a simple white mat and a simple metal or wood frame. I was totally (and pleasantly) surprised the first time one of my clients showed me one of my pieces that she had framed professionally with a lovely handmade frame. Wow - what a difference! | ||

When you do a commissioned painting, do you usually arrange in the pricing for matting and framing, or do you just do the painting and hand it off to the customer to let him/her to take care of matting and framing? I do my own framing, and if I can avoid that extra time and cost, I'd love to, but at the same time, I want the framing done correctly... any thoughts? |
