Stanwood held it's Holiday Art Walk the last Friday of November and 9 of my fish prints were on display at Laurie's.....one of my favorite shops!!! Sad Sack is one of the largest prints I have and has been in "storage" for several years as I could not get a mat that fit" off the rack"...after going through my stack of stored fish prints I choose all the ones I really liked and took them to Arron Brothers and purchased mats where I could and had mats cut when needed .....needless to say it cost a lot more to have them custom cut...and especially if you are shown double and triple mats that really look great. Suffice it to say the big fish prints cost a lot more to finish out than the standard size and therefore had to cost more. This is why I am so happy to have sold one..seems price is really not the problem when you see something you really like. A lesson learned for me.... stop worrying about cost and put out there what I really think is good.
