10. Will my portrait be framed?
Since the choice of frame is a very personal decision, based on where the painting will be hung and the surrounding décor, all our oil portrait paintings are sent to you in a protective tube as an un-framed rolled canvas. This avoids the possibility of damage and also enables us to keep costs down since the cost of an oil portrait painting, if framed by us, would be significantly increased due to the carriage and packing charges involved. Your reputable local framer will be able to offer you a wide choice of frames, from which you will be able to select the one that best suits your needs, at a price that will produce savings for you.
