This memory painting is being offered in 3 sizes, 11x14, 16x20 and 24x36. There is a choice of mat (or no mat) for the 2 smaller sizes.
It is also offered on stretched canvas in 16" x 20" x 3/4" size. This canvas print cannot be personalized, but it's a marvelous print which is very visually commanding - can be framed or not (Artist thinks it looks best framed since it's 3/4" instead of 1-1/2").
The size listed is the size frame you need. When you choose no mat for your archival print on paper, the image size is LARGER than the matted print for the same size frame. E.G. 11x14 ---> with mat image is 8x10.5, and without mat image is 11x15. For the 16x20 ---> with mat image is 11x15 and without mat image is 15.5 x19.5, which fits into a 16x20 frame.
In case you don't know, when a painting or photo is in a 16x20 frame, with no mat, you never see 16" by 20" -- u only see 15.5" x 19.5". It's the same with 2x4s from lumber store - they are not actually 2" x 4".
Both 11x14 and 16x20 also come with backing and in a clear cellophane bag to protect the archival print until it's framed. The 24x36 does not ship flat, comes with no mat, and is shipped rolled into a tube. The 16x20 canvas print is obviously shipped flat and if framed, the frame size would be 16x20 unless you choose to add a linen mat (which would usually be at most an Inch all the way around).
The 24x36's image size is 23.5 x 35.5 which fits into a 24x36 frame, and looks best if the frame is 2" wide. It's a great size for your large office at work and gets lots of attention.
Any of the 3 sizes can be personalized by adding up o 3 signs Contact artist when ordering to tell her the sign information.
All frame sizes are standard & commonly available so it's easy to frame yourself in a frame under glass or plexiglass.
On the 16x20 mat, some people have friends/family sign the mat before framing ... even black mats can be signed in silver or gold ink.
