Lady in Burgundy – Original Acrylic Portrait by Award-Winning Artist Jen Sequel

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your Lady in Burgundy painting, please follow these care guidelines:

• Framing: It is recommended to frame the artwork with a double mat and protective glass or acrylic to prevent dust accumulation and environmental damage.
• Handling: Always handle the painting with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt onto the surface.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently remove dust. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or chemicals, as they may damage the acrylic paint.
• Display: Keep the artwork out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. Avoid areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms, to prevent warping or deterioration of the Bristol board.
• Storage: If storing the artwork, place it in a flat, dry location, preferably between acid-free sheets, and avoid heavy stacking to prevent bending.

With proper care, your original Jen Sequel painting will remain a timeless piece of art for years to come.

For the best presentation and preservation of your original Jen Sequel painting, we recommend professional framing with the following specifications:

• Matting: A minimal dual mat setup to enhance depth and visual appeal.

  • Inner Mat: A thin, deep burgundy or wine-colored mat to subtly complement the gown.
  • Outer Mat: A soft ivory, warm white, or light gray mat to create a clean, elegant border.

• Frame: A simple yet sophisticated frame in one of the following styles:

  • Black or Espresso Wood: A classic choice that provides contrast and a gallery-style look.
  • Brushed Gold or Antique Bronze: A refined option that adds warmth and complements the richness of the painting.
  • Matte Charcoal or Dark Walnut: A neutral, modern choice that blends well with various décor styles.

• Glazing: Use UV-protective glass or acrylic to prevent fading and protect against dust and moisture.

• Backing & Mounting: Acid-free backing and mounting materials should be used to preserve the integrity of the Bristol board.

This professional framing approach ensures that Lady in Burgundy remains a striking, timeless piece while protecting its quality for years to come
