It has been a while since I went to King’s Gallery, but if it is still the same people there, I can highly recommend them.

I had been given a gift of a print of a painting by a hometown artist, Charley Harper, for the TV house, but it was not framed yet. I had the colors I wanted for the frame and the matting in mind, and they were very helpful with narrowing down the exact shades of turquoise, pink, and gray for Harper’s fun flock of flamingos.

A little tip if you are having a print professionally framed — you might want to check into the various types of glass. It costs more to use the glass that protects from the fading that UV light rays will eventually cause, but it could be worth it.
