Hi Facebook friends. Can anyone help me return these 2 paintings to their family? They were done by local artist, the late Joan Austin, who lived in Petawawa. I haven't had any luck so far, and I'd very much like to see them find their way home before I close in June, so if anyone has any info about how I can reach Joan's family, would you kindly PM me? ![]()

Hi friends!![]()
Is it just me...I mean do I just geek out on stuff like this because I'm a framer, or are these the CUTEST LITTLE FRAMES you ever saw!?![]()
These are one of my "retirement clear-out specials", at really cute prices too ($10.00 - $25.00) 😁![]()

Pop in and grab a few! Who knows, there might even be a couple of freebies for you. 🥰
Q: Is Non-glare glass the same as Museum Glass?![]()
![]()
A: No. Non-glare glass is etched to deflect the light and minimize glare. The result is that it has a soft focus appearance, which can work very will with soft images, some watercolours, or anything that does not have fine detail. (See photo 1)![]()

Museum glass (photo 2) has an anti-reflective coating that all but eliminates glare and gives the appearance of no glass at all, while preserving all of the clarity. This is especially important for needle work, pen and ink drawings, photos, and pieces where the detail is important. The other great benefit to museum glass is that it also has a UV coating to prevent light damage to the artwork.
