Thanks Bobbi, I just checked them out! I liked the Gold Vertu frame also, but their site is really confusing. Put in a quote to see prices and it just took me to check out to fill in my info…no price quote. Think perhaps I will give them a call. THANKS!
If you have an Aaron Bros. or a Michaels near you they often have sales on frames and their frames of that size are nowhere near the price you mentioned. I generally wait for their penny sale and buy one frame and get another for a penny. Generally they go up to about $20.00 or much much less.
Thanks Patricia, unfortunately neither are in Las Cruces, NM, where I live. We do have a Hobby Lobby though, sometimes get frames for my larger works there. Are you buying picture frames for those sizes, and just taking out the glass, or do they have painting frames that size? I could always look on line! Thanks again!

Thanks Diedre! I will check it out, just received a huge box filled with on sale frames from Jerry’s that I am really happy with! Loved the way they shipped them too, in their own individual boxes that can be reused for shipping!
I have had very good luck with the Jerry’s Plein Air frames. I just wish they offered a bit more variety. The only frame in that series I really wasn’t happy with is the one in Mahogany–it is a bit too “red” for my taste. I was hoping for a darker brown with just a hint of the “red”. I have also ordered custom frame sizes from www.pictureframes.com and right now, they are running free shipping through 3-24!

Check out Guerilla Painter. They’re having a small frame sale right now. An artist friend just got some for her 6x8’s and they’re nice!
Thanks Veronica! I am always happy with Jerry’s frames, haven’t tried the Mahogany though, and guess from what you, and others, have said will steer clear of them! Missed out on the sale at pictureframes, but will check them out. Right now, I have two shelves full though, as stocked up when Jerry’s had a sale.
Does this mean that everyone is selling their paintings with frames? I figured most artists just ship the painting and let the buyer pick out a frame.
I never sell with frames online, only in a gallery.

You could always try to make your own frames

I was just told about JFM I havent used them yet but I did get an account with them. Their prices seem competitive to King of Frame (whos shipping just hiked up). I believe they are located on the East coast.
My plan is to purchase this week to feel them out for customer service, quality, shipping fees and length of time from order to door. Hopefully I can report back some good news!
Yes, you can use the Jerry’s Gallery frames
for either panels or stretched canvas. They are designed with two grooves inside the frame.
