HOW TO FRAME?

Buying an unstretched painting has several advantages.

It can easily be stretched/framed by your local framing shop.

It gives you the opportunity to have it mounted to your own taste, and to choose the style and color of your frame, to better match your decor.

Plus, having it stretched by a local framer is often an even much affordable option than the increased shipping costs of a ready-to-hang painting.

Another plus: it ships rolled in a very sturdy PVC tube, which ensures a safe arrival (unlike a mounted or framed painting which, even well packaged, is at greater risk of arriving damaged).

DIMENSIONS

In my listings, I provide the unstretched dimensions, as well as the final dimensions if stretched using 'standard' stretcher bars.

If you prefer 'gallery' stretcher bars, no problem! But in this case, please keep in mind that the final size will depend on the depth you choose (a larger depth will need to use more of the canvas to wrap around the edges).
