<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 5284, member: 33"]Yes, there is a Hobby Lobby in this area and others have told me they are good. I'll try them next time for sure! I'm guessing they are less expensive, too. The framing on this cost quite a bit more than the painting itself did... although I know that framing is pretty pricey, especially when a mat is involved.</p><p><br /></p><p>The shop still has two other items that I was very concerned about... two Audubon prints that I purchased at two different times but wanted to hang together. I purchased them at the Joel Oppenheimer Gallery in Chicago -- they were not cheap, but were some of the lower-priced things they sell there! I love looking at their offerings. They have a good website, too: <a href="http://www.audubonart.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.audubonart.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.audubonart.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the prints were already matted by the gallery, so I just wanted frames. When I went to pick up the painting I was told that the frame I wanted for those two are out of stock and they are trying to get their supplier to answer their question as to when they will be available. I told him to just ask the framer to select a frame that looks good and is somewhat similar to what I requested. She does have good taste and I trust her. At this rate it may be another month before I get the prints![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
