and better manage the stresses of heat and cold. If the

artwork is framed with glass, your best bet is to keep

it totally sealed.

Take a second to check the wire on the back of your

painting. If you feel the wire may not be strong enough for

the weight of your artwork, definitely discuss this with your

framer.

I'd like to say, "I don't know how much of this

learning you want to discuss with your framer the first time

you meet because they may think you attended a framing

college in your spare time."
