Thank-you Mel, thursday I've another to collect from the framers.It's getting very expensive to have a picture framed will have to do smaller pictures in future.A frame plus mount and the labour cost roughly £60 size 50cmx80cm for a simple wood frame.

I asked the price of that sort of glass here it's expensive .

I have some of my pictures framed using the non reflective glass,it certainly makes a difference with eliminating shine and light reflections,however it also diffuses the colours,so recently I purchased three framed photos of Broadland and chose ordinary clear glass which allows the natural colours to be appreciated.

You have a nice collection of pastel paintings there Kerch and yes I agree the framing and mounts make a difference - very professional looking.

Very nice pictures Kerch, we have some very talented people on here.

Have you come across Joe Crowfoot's pictures of Broadland and Beccles?

Looks nice, kerch. Is that the same picture you posted HERE un-mounted?

[kerch]

Yes it is well spotted BB.
The other smaller pastel I posted at the same time is being framed by a friend who's a woodworker ,makes all sorts of things in wood mostly from drift wood or recupertated wood.Will be interesting to see what he comes up with.

[boatbuilder]

I look forward to seeing that one as well, kerch.

Is it unnamed as the file name states as the face looks familiar to me, SheilaO and I can't place it? Nevertheless, it's very good and you've got the hang of posting pictures on here as well.

Hello SheilaO - and welcome to this site and hope you enjoy being here. Excellent work "from your easel"! It looks like "M" to me - or should I say Judi Dench? If I'm right - do I get a prize? I'm currently reading her book "and furthermore".

Clevva fella, right in one, I would love to read her book, (note to self must look out for "and furthermore"
