From the Framer's Table

I would like to welcome you to my blog for Cornerstone Custom Picture Framing and Gallery. As a framer and gallery owner I get to see such interesting artwork everyday, and would love this chance to share some of it with you. Also, I hope this will bring awareness to the art and craft of the framing process itself and give you ideas of how to frame your own special artwork and memorabilia.

Original Oil Painting from Italy

Quite of few of my customers come back from their travels with paintings and prints from all over the world. Often the artwork brings back wonderful memories has great sentimental value but does not look like much all rolled up in a shipping tube! One of my customers bought this lovely oil painting at an outdoor market in Italy. We chose a beautiful distressed frame in a copper tone with an inset linen liner. Often an oil painting needs a liner to give the piece space and avoid a "boxed-in look". The painting was first stretched over wooden stretcher bars, and then placed in the frame. My client was thrilled with the result and now has a little piece of Italy in her living room to enjoy for years to come and remind her of her trip.
