A google search revelas that the cleaning of oil paintings can be a bit tricky. If the paint is solid and without flakes a light dust with a very soft brush seems to be the most common solution, though a few sites also recommend rolling cotton wool balls which have been dampened with distilled water across the painting, again provided there are no flaking paint bits. Its probably also worth taking the painting out of the frame and cleaning the back, and you can be a bit rougher than with the painted surface. A good tip filled site is: http://www.hfmgv.org/research/cis/paint.html

well, if you consider cross stitch pictures art, i take mine to a local craft store and select the frame and matting myself. they stretch the canvas and really do a nice job framing. unfortunately, the process is expensive! but worth it.

This really is off topic, but this is such a cool card printing company I had to include it. http://www.modernpostcard.com/text/prod_jumbo_fold.shtml
