Painting Frame Selected

Home sweet home! 

I am now back at home in Jamestown, New Mexico. It was a long drive, but I made it.

Before leaving Lake Havasu, Mitch Geriminsky and I went to Hobby Lobby to pick a frame for his birthday present painting. Asya had a work appointment, so she couldn't participate via a video call.

Hobby Lobby had more frame styles that I thought they would. Plus, they have a visualization device that puts the artwork in a frame electronically and it is shown on a monitor. That is a big help in selecting picture frames.

After looking at several different frames, we decided to go "rustic" and it boiled down to three frame possibilities. Mitch and I liked the one we selected (we also had a lady customer helping out and she agreed with us).

I shot photos of the monitor with the different frame styles and sent them to Asya. Later in the day, while I was in Winslow, Arizona having a dinner break, she responded and said she supported our frame decision. The framing will be done by November 2.

I can't complain about the price either. The frame cost under $60.00.
