Some of. paintings are framed with a single mat,, ?some.with a double and still o..ers with a triple mat. The’, ‘Walshes showed: me two large paintings by. an inter- ,) nationally renowned artist. These they have framed with “a single white mat and silver metal frames. “If a piece is. _ to busy," explained Loretta,."you don’t want to detract it: from the.picture.”, Brad then guided me-over to an Indian ‘print framed with three bands of color. “A triple’ mat is nice-on ‘this kind of work,” he said. “Native: ‘artwork is usually three colors and white.” The couple. mentioned that.there is a tendency for ” people to frame their own art using a wide band of dark mat. -This, according to the Walshes, merely detracts from the pciture.: ~ ‘ -It'is choosing the mat colors that the artist in the ‘Walshes comes out. “You fool around with them (color): You try to decide what effect you are trying to get out of it," said Loretta. “We'll: lay a. picture on the table,” she | - “and you can't noti ‘tain colors. You frame it with the right’ colors and. it- brings’ up. beautiful highlights that you never noticed before. ‘Another “no-no”’ say; the ‘Walshes, is. laying glass © directly. against a piece of art. For’ valuable art jock the, : Walshes use a'relatively new, i inounting’.The picture: ‘or. pI mulbei 100 per cent. acid free rag board is used as the mat.’ covered with regular glass..In this way the picture is “home” to both of them — and start. ie. ‘painting is hinged at the corners with rice glue, and then es Brad Walsh cuts precision mat: for frame. “The frame ‘should never, detract from the picture.” ‘ totally ‘apendea in'the grame with a vacuum between it * _ and the world outside. The Walshes advise that all good art work be museum mounted. * ‘The Walshes never recommend the: very expensive non-| -glare glass. Brad states, “Conservatives 1 never use it, and I-tell (people to stay away from it.” I learned’ that: . non-glare glass: is made when regular glass is etched: swith acid. “The manufacturers claim that all the acid is washed “olf, but ‘some experts say that it is not.” They’ further explained: that ultra-violet rays from: the sun’ are « damaging ’to any piece of art. work. Regular glass reflects niost of these damaging rays, but non-glare glass allows . all of.the suns. rays in. »A-few months: back’ Brad. and Loretta attended a two-day seminar in Seattle where they learned many new + framing techniques. and “all the experts were.there.” When to frame in wood and when to frame in metal is another decision that the framer must make. ‘They both agreed that the larger the painting the larger its wooden frame should be. .This'rule, ‘however, does not pertain to metal frames. An extremely large painting or print can be. ‘successfully framed with‘a very, narrow metal frame. If that same. picture’ were framed with a narrow. “wooden frame, the'result would look,“wrong” they said. According to Loretta; “You can frame anything.” By. . far the mogt interesting thing she has framed hasbeen an s eleaborate 1920's beaded. dress, The whole thing was - museum’ mounted in ‘a. box-like | frame. that’ measured wooderi™ spoons, her job it's cutting those’ large sheets of ie In Prince George she remembers cutting a 30” x 72” sheet of glass when -it. shattered..“I was lucky ‘to get out, without a scratch.” Brad interjected here.: "Sometimes they {the / . glass sheets) havea tiny flaw and when you pick it up she just goes. They tell you ifa plece atarts to go, you just get * out ‘of the way and let it ga.” Besides their framing business the Waishes operate: ‘a small art gallery with an emphasis on local artists. “We had no contacts at first,” Brad stated. “We bought some. international art'and then by, word tp mouth we found out who the local artists were.” They also display and” sell local: pottery and jewelry: : Loretta was. born in in Saskatchewan: and Castlegar in 1962 and has basically lived here ever since: “I worked at SuperValu for. years,” she ‘sa Brad was born in Victoria and grew up in Kimber!
