I've been framed!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really, but I did frame two paintings today.  They are the ones that I'm going to display at the coffee shop.  They do look really cool in frames.  It makes them look like they were done by a professional.  I wish that I could find some matting that will fit the frames, but when you matt, the frame has to be a lot bigger, and they usually don't fit.  If  I bring it to a framing shop, it would cost me more than what I could get out of the painting,  making the cost of the painting much more.  Then I would have to charge $200 for them.   I don't think they would sell.  Besides, I really just want to display them as cheap as possible, hoping that they would sell.  I think that would be more practical.  I've seen some people put their works in expensive frames, and never recoup the cost.   So, I still haven't come up with and idea for the next painting.  Maybe I will do some wild life, like some birds or something like that.  When I painted an eagle, his belly was a little fat, and it did look really funny, but I'll be damned, someone bought it.  Too funny!!!!!
I think that I'm getting addicted to blogging, damn you Melissa!!!!!!!  Anyway, I still need some business cards to put with the paintings.  That will have to wait.  I bet I could get the print shop to design some for me, but they would be kind of pricey.  Well, that's all for now.  Time to look at some pictures to get ideas for the next painting.

  1. As soon as I get my printer with my tax money I will make you some nice business cards. Then you can stick the business cards in the corner of your paintings like the professionals do. Probably in 2 weeks or so because I just filed and should have my money soon! Yay!
