Autumn 2010 Art Newsletter |

| Tis the Season Autumn is my favorite season. The late afternoon sun drapes everything with a golden-honey color. The air is crisp and the scent of leaves permeates the air. Are you gearing up for the Holidays or maybe looking forward to winter sports? What’s New I’ve got new giclee prints listed in my http://GalleryJuana.etsy.com shop. Click any of the images below to puchase.    Framing I recently had a client ask me for assistance with framing. And in fact, shortly after that, a stranger asked me for framing advice when I was purchasing art supplies at the art store. How to frame your art purchase is a very good question. Framing is for the long-term protection of art work or fine art prints. So it is important that any material that touches the original painting is acid-free. In addition to acid free, lignin free is also important for being archival. Using UV glass is a plus. Protection from sunlight will further ensure that the colors in your painting or print last a long time. It’s important to note that the painting should not touch the glass. For this reason, matting is recommended. Many will recommend that the mat should not be lighter or darker than any color in the painting. Double matting is also possible. Mats come in different qualities (listed low to high grade): decorative, conservation and museum rag. In the past, when I’ve sold through galleries, they chose a white mat and simple black frame, but the choice of those will depend on your taste and home decor.
