Pastel over Fireplace?

[Julie Deane]

Thanks, Richard. I know an oil painting would have a harder time of it, since the heat would make it expand and contract, there would be smoke into the layers, etc. So at least pastel doesn't have that problem.

I guess I will try to wangle getting the framing done myself to ensure that the backing is WELL sealed.

Julie,

I do not see any problem, as it will be covered with glass.

Better there than in an very bright room, which can damage the pastels with UV rays.
