A few years ago when I wanted to show off my paintings I bought cheap frames in the hardware shop. However when it came to my first exhibition, I decided that they wouldn’t do, so I got them framed professionally. Much better. I think it is only fair to the buyer to provide a good frame. Now I get all my exhibition pieces professionally framed, and any paintings I want to show, will be nicely mounted and presented in plastic pockets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got a few frames recently in Ikea. I popped a painting into one. It looked OK, bnut it is only chipboard and there is no glass, only clear plastic. I was disappointed. It was a reminder not to buy cheap frames. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I have a lot of older paintings still in cheap frames. What to do? Sell them at a discount? (it is black friday after all), or take them out and mount them properly? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I would like to be taken seriously as a painter, so I will keep away from cheap frames, no matter how nice they look in the shop. Anyway my framer does a great job, I’ll stick to painting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
