This custom picture frame was brought in to us by a customer who said that it was for her "blue room" but that it just didn't "
fit" that it was too loud. Most people will look at the picture and easily see why it wouldn't work not just in a blue room, or most anywhere. It would have been better to instead select a silvery or grey picture frame to complement the mood, tone and feel of the image being framed. You can always ask your picture framer to help with a tasteful and appropriate custom picture frame, it's all part of ...

Can I ask to have my oil painting framed under glass?
Posted on Category: Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQs )By:
Normally no oil painting gets framed under glass, but yes, it can be done. However this type of picture frame is not constructed very often and for a few good reasons. Firstly, the glass should not rest
or touch even an "old", or aged, oil painting because the white oxides in the paint may take up to several months to thoroughly dry. Often, an oil painting may feel hard to the touch and yet the inside layers are still soft and curing, or drying. The painting media (plural, as there may be several, coats or paint layers of different paints) and the method applied by the artist will affect the longevity of an oil painting. ...

What’s happened to all the picture framing and picture frames stores?
Posted on Category: Picture Framing Industry InsightsBy:We've been framing for 40-odd years and have seen both good and bad times. Of lately, the economy has slowed down
and customers worry about their jobs. They spend less at picture frames stores, save more and don't buy as many picture frames as they used to.
