I realized that in order to portray the proper impact of a painting the artist must step back and visualize the finished product in a frame.  In the case of “Road to Cartaret,” after the piece was framed, I saw imperfections and identified adjustments that had to be corrected.  So, I took it back to the framer, Manny at Picture Framing Warehouse in Fairfield, and he opened up the piece, I made the corrections there and they reframed the piece.  It’s very difficult to be objective when the piece  is on the easel and you’ve looked at it for so long.  It’s better to step away for awhile put a temporary frame around it which blocks out the background and light it as it would be on a wall to view it as it will be once framed so you can make corrections before framing.
