How do I choose a frame for Canvas Panel Painting?

There are standard picture frames that will work because canvas panels are quite thin, but make sure to find a frame that is recessed enough. A deeper rabbet will ensure that there is adequate room for the painting. If the painting is an odd size such as 6x8, 7x9, 6x6, 8x8 etc you may need to consult with a picture framer at a local art store or frame shop since there are less picture frame varieties in these sizes.

What are the instructions for varnishing?

At the time being, my paintings are sold unvarnished, as they are not yet ready for varnishing. As the paintings fully dry, I will apply a natural varnish to protect and enhance their colors. If you prefer to display the painting unvarnished in the meantime, that’s perfectly fine—it does not require varnishing to look beautiful. Please allow several months for the painting to fully dry before the varnish is applied. Feel free to contact me with any questions!

Are there any natural imperfections?

**Natural Imperfections**: As an **original handmade piece**, small variations in texture, brushstrokes, and imperfections may be present, making each painting unique and full of character.
