FRAME

You know what really brings out Rosie's copy is the old original frame.

I think so. I don't know what to do with the original since it was displaced from it's frame. I want to preserve the framing choices that were made.

I like what you've done.

It's a good thing I didn't throw it out. I was going to.

Right.

Well, I have the original frame that it was hung in.

Oh, you do!

I have the frame that it hung in in Grandma's parlor.

That would be interesting. So did you frame your picture with it?

I framed the one Rosie Feist did for me, not the one I did myself.

Who's Rosie Feist?

Well, a friend of mine in Edmonton. She painted a copy of it.

That white frame is the frame the picture was in in the parlor.

Oh.

So the original would look odd if it's put back into a freshly painted frame.

FAME

Someday you're going to be a famous artist.

They're all asking me when I'm going to do one. Sometime I'd like to do one.

Oh, sure. Well, I won't be ready for awhile. After making the proposal I'll bring the original back to you.

Sometime.

By then you'll have one of Mom's to display too.

Oh, yes.

And then you'll be a famous artist too. [Laughter]

I am already.
