I...Hi Valerie, thanks so much.<BR/><BR/>Bag Blog, Thank you. I worked on trees for a year and I think it helped. I sketched and painted many. Frames are tough. I try to get the best looking ones I can without breaking the budget. These matted ones are from Walmart. The dark mat part is plastic, but the frames are wooden. Gene usually replaces the cardboard backs with foamcore to be somewhat archival. :) I paint mostly in standard sizes so frames can be purchased at reasonable prices. Odd sizes can sure run up the price.Jo Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411430042547033972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29792638.post-42332626156450641012009-04-09T08:47:00.000-05:002009-04-09T08:47:00.000-05:00I love the tres trees paintings.

There is an upcoming event where we are setting up a booth. Some people think framing cheaply is a good idea when selling paintings - others think a frame is very important. Me, I'm a cheapo framer. But your frames are very nice.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29792638.post-10123308890157156792009-04-08T20:45:00.000-05:002009-04-08T20:45:00.000-05:00These are all so lovely, Jo!These are all so lovely, Jo!Valerie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17636202309363978079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29792638.post-55593067649362068622009-04-08T17:41:00.000-05:002009-04-08T17:41:00.000-05:00Thanks Teresa, New Mexico is home, so I think it i...Thanks Teresa, New Mexico is home, so I think it is beautiful.
