My frames and scrolls are part of the art and they change year by year to fit the paintings. I’m thinking of revisiting a frame I used twenty five years ago on my jizo paintings. It was a successful exhibition with all paintings sold but one I held back, this one of the Red Plum Jizo.
I noticed that after 25 years the surface of the frame has become dull in spots. I had used wax as a protective covering. I wonder if anyone that bought a paintings back then knows to rub the frame gently with a soft clean cloth to bring back the original tone.
Complicated thing owning art,
