You can visit Jeri&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/jerirogers.com\/indexc.html\">website<\/a> to see more of her fine work.<\/p>\n<p>Whether art is produced by a professional or by a child, it can be given a unique and memorable presentation by respecting the intention that went into creating the artwork. <\/p>\n<p>I find that there always seems to be a way to achieve the results intended if I keep looking for affordable alternatives if our first choices exceed the budget available. <\/p>\n<p>There is as much satisfaction in achieving an affordable result as there is in spending top dollar to get a specific result.<\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, well designed framing solutions can produce a &quot;wow&quot; reaction with a wide range of mouldings and mats. When the final result is also affordable, it makes everyone happy. <\/p>\n<p><a onclick=\"window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=300,height=205,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\" href=\"http:\/\/ripples.typepad.com\/photos\/uncategorized\/2007\/12\/20\/elcharrohorse.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"136\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.making-ripples.com\/images\/2007\/12\/20\/elcharrohorse.jpg\" title=\"Elcharrohorse\" alt=\"Elcharrohorse\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px; float: right;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis horse painting in Valentin Soto&#8217;s El Charro restaurant in downtown Floyd adds the right touch of elegance to this popular dining spot. The painting came to me as a loose piece of canvas rolled up in paper.&nbsp; Valentin had a vision of what he wanted and I was able to produce the result that you see here. Now you can admire Valentin&#8217;s horse while you enjoy the tasty food at El Charro.<\/p>\n<p>Like almost every other kind of design activity, affordable results encourage continuing customer interest.&nbsp; That is a direction worth following, especially in Floyd County, Virginia where you will find me working in my <a href=\"http:\/\/floydcustomframing.com\">shop<\/a> almost every day of the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doing custom framing for artists and photographers to achieve a superior presentation for their art is one of the most rewarding activities I can think of.
