Thanks Glenn. I'm going to put up a display of these at the local library in July. It'll be a chance for me to see how they look as a group and see how people react to them. I'm having fun, painting is such fun. I'm also trying to figure out how to frame them on the ultra cheap because they are large. Wedged between plexi-glass is one train of thought.
I've used reg. trim materials and a good powered trim saw for some of my larger stuff. Of course that's for canvas on stretchers. I also like to paint on Masonite board, you can cut it to any size its easy to prep and easy to frame. I buy old frames at house sales for a few bucks and then cut Masonite to fit the ones that are odd sizes.
Works on paper are a hassle to properly frame under glass and all that. And you sort of have to do it right even with cheap frames. Hang the work so it can move, etc.
But you can also just pin them up without frames. Printmaker Harold Lohner does that a lot.

I hope to paint on canvas in the future, right now I couldn't afford it especially at the right and size I'm working.
