Visual Art by Jacob Mann

Gifts in Color

Color photographs make beautiful gifts for every occasion -  birthday, housewarming, wedding. But even the most beautiful photograph doesn't look good if it's not packaged properly with mat and frame. It's like a beautiful woman without a proper makeup and dress. And this package better be designed by professional.

To help you to visualize the whole package - not just the photograph but also frame, mat, glass - I've matted and framed a few color pictures and photographed them on the wall. You can buy the same exact packages as shown on this page. Each package is designed for specific photograph, the colors of each mat and frame are custom picked to create harmonious package.

 All mats are done with V-groove (the second white rectangular around the photograph). It makes mats so pretty.  V-groove is labor intensive and professional framers prefer to avoid it unless they can charge outrageous fee. And here you have it included in low-priced package.

 All packages include high quality aluminum frame sized 16"x20",  acrylic glass, acid free mat and foam mounting board. Photographs are printed on high quality Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper 15"x11" and all of them are my original work.

All these packages are priced at low price $400.

	Old Teakettle With black mat and v-groove it looks like a work of art it is. Copper color frame matches beautifully to the teakettle color. File #2970 View Image
	Old barn It was taken near Lake George. Green grass is matched by green mat and the red frame plays out beautifully against the red barn. And v-groove makes it even prettier. File #1056 View Image
	Red Window On this picture is a piece of Europe - one of so many pretty houses with colorful doors and windows. Diagonal placement of the door and window creates dynamic composition. Texture of the mat is matched to the texture of the wall. File #1204
	Mountain Lake This lake is high above sea level in Swiss Alps near Saint-Moritz. File #2263 View image
	Bridal Waterfall The prettiest waterfall I've ever seen or taken picture of. It's in Bushkill, Pennsylvania. File #0360 View Image

	After the rain This beautiful picture was taken after the rain when all flowers on the streets of the small and pretty Italian town were covered with drops of water. File #1701 View image
