In last week’s blog post, I started a discussion about the transport of unframed pastel paintings, starting with information about the importance of the painting surface support. As I mentioned there, Gatorfoam board has become a very popular product for this purpose. Here, I’ll continue the conversation with a discussion of protective sheets, tape and other useful products.

My family makes fun of me because of how much I show my love for our dog, Cowgirl. I can’t help it and, if you’re a pet-lover, I know you’ll understand. When it comes to dogs (and cats, too), they’re somehow able to show emotions that we can relate to. My favorite thing about them? They don’t talk back (parents, relate?). But curiosity, sleepiness, excitement–all are expressed through their soulful eyes, ears, and mouths.
