Q: I just found my paintings from a couple of years ago and i wanna hang them up, but i painted them all on the flat kind of canvases.
Is there anything i should do to my paintings so they don't 'break'?
What kind of frames do you recommend?
Thanks!! =)

A: Canvas panels are fairly flexible, and so is paint - if the panels have warped a bit, it won't hurt them to be fastened into a frame. Anything that fits and works well with the painting is good.

You can assemble them yourself by placing the panel in the frame and nailing small finishing nails into the frame so they lay flat against the back of the panel. Start in the middle and work your way to the corners, about 2 - 3 inches apart. If you assemble the frame yourself, choose a wood frame rather than a plastic frame (it won't take the nails).
