Yesterday I went with a close friend, Agnes, to have our paintings framed.
She'd bought quite a few from her recent holiday in China, and she also wanted a painting of mine framed as well (she asked to have the painting of The Little Monk and I happily obliged)
I too decided I wanted ONE painting of mine framed, since it is the only one I don't cringe while looking at it. I painted 2 dogs on a door step (stoop? Front of main door, is that a stoop?), and while I was painting it, Old Master HOVERED around it, making suggestions time and again, and attempting to paint my picture to show me what he wanted me to do. Ungrateful student that I am, I know if he touches my painting, I'll never touch it again. So while the painting looks okay, the technique leaves way, way much to be desired. It isn't painted the oil-painting way, but more the water-colour way
Even the framer thought it was a water colour. *sigh sadly* At that point I wondered if it was any good framing the painting. It costs S$60 to box-frame it - sort of the painting is "suspended" within a frame, and the border between the frame and painting is empty.
What do I do with the rest of my paintings? They're all rolled up and chucked into one corner.
