Melbourne, AustraliaI think that's wonderful of Maureen...I was lucky enough to win one of her paintings last year at Woodend and it's just beautiful!
That is an excellent prize! Maureen has painted several of my bears and I have the paintings on my walls. Her work is brilliant and she is a very nice lady as well.
Strange BearsWe are not sure about framing. Quite happy to do it and Neville, Maureen's husband does the most gorgeous handmade frames and I would have thought that would be fine but an artists today said they would prefer it unframed so that they could do so to match there own decorating style.
I'm hoping she would be a minority..........how would most of you feel.
