Varnish oil paintings and sorting picture frames

Yesterday 'was' going to be a day for finishing the last snow oil painting but ended up being a different day.

Some of the frames were ready for the next exhibition so those were sorted and made ready, while the studio floor was covered in varnished (I use Winsor & Newton Retouching Varnish at this stage) paintings...

Above is a sample of a single coloured frame with slip. I use a number of different moulding profiles depending on size of painting, along with different colour or colour combinations.

Some of the varnished paintings drying in the studio...

Piles of plain wood frames and slips...

Picture shows just two of the piles of plain wood frames (with slips) that came today... they will be going on to be sanded and then hand painted ready for the oil paintings that are either drying or still being painted...
