Drying time before framing?

[Chuck Yokota]

Chris, Michael,

Thanks for your responses. The reason I had asked the question was that, while browsing the websites of various professional portrait artists, I had come across three that stated they would not frame their paintings for either three or six months. This was definitely different from varnishing, e.g. one said he would frame at six months and varnish at one year. So I wondered if there was something I was missing.
