Types of Framing Available

Since framing is a matter of style and taste please feel free to order your portrait without a frame this way you may bring your portrait to your favorite framer to custom mat and frame it to your specifications. You can have your portrait framed with or without a mat. If you indicate you would like to frame without a mat, I would include spacers to be placed between the glass and artwork at no charge.

Tip: It is better to choose a frame or mat that harmonizes with both the colors in the painting and the décor with which it will be displayed in. Example: Never choose a frame or mat that is lighter than the lightest light in the picture or darker than the darkest dark. If you do you will tend to see the frame first instead of the portrait.

For those of you who would like their portraits framed & ready to hang I offer the following selections with general price ranges. Please note: Prices are always subjected to change by the frame companies, so please contact me for a current price quote.
