Select 'Artwork only' if you would like to receive just the artwork itself and take care of matting / framing yourself.
Please note, I usually leave a trim of white paper of up to 0.5 in around the painting to make it easier to mount it to the mat. But if you'd like me to cut it off before sending, please request it before the order is shipped. Alternatively, you can cut it off to the desired size with regular scissors.Ordering Matted Artwork
Select 'Single / Double mat - no frame' option, and I will include:
- a Crescent Select 4-Ply Mat. This mat board is crafted from superior 4-ply alpha-cellulose, ensuring robust protection and lasting beauty for your art. Completely acid-free and lignin-free, it guards against yellowing and deterioration, preserving your work for years to come. Mat sizes:
- 2’’ for portraits up to 11 X 14 in
- 3’’ for portraits up to 16 x 20 in
- 4’’ for 18 x 24 portraits
- an acid-free archival backing board (protects the art and makes it easier to mount)
This way it will be fully ready for you to put it in your own frame.
Artwork sizes inluding the mat (this is the frame size you will need to fit your artwork):
- 8x10 in artwork with a mat: 12x14 in
- 9x12 in artwork with a mat: 13x16 in

Framing options I offer are shown HERE.
Order one of the framed options, if you would like to receive your portrait both with a mat & fully framed. You'll be prompted to select a frame after placing an order during the reference photo upload.
Glass options:
Choose if you’d like regular 2.5mm clear glass or Anti-Reflective Glass. Believe me, Anti-Reflective glass makes a huge difference! Check out the listing photos for a side by side of the two options.
