Abstract
Abstract A method for rendering a painting and providing a frame therefor includes the steps of providing a stiff, unitary member having a flat surface suitable for rendering the painting thereon. The painting is then rendered on an inner area of the surface so as to leave a border area thereof around the rendering. A raised bordering strip is then applied along the interface between the border area and the rendering and thereafter a frame is applied about the periphery of the member.
