Fact 161
`Before the House Wakes` has a 7-by-9-inch image on a 9-by-12-inch full sheet of 140-pound cold-press watercolor paper; its 11-by-14-inch archival mat has a 6.75-by-8.75-inch window, and the sheet is secured with conservation-grade corner mounts rather than pressure-sensitive adhesive.

I removed `Before the House Wakes` from the prior incompatible 10 x 12-inch frame and finished its archival matting. The image is 7 x 9 inches on a 9 x 12-inch full sheet of 140-pound cold-press watercolor paper. The 11 x 14-inch archival mat has a 6.75 x 8.75-inch window, and the sheet is secured with conservation-grade corner mounts rather than pressure-sensitive adhesive. It is now in the Cherrywood painting corner. Replace the existing `Riley's watercolor inventory` record body with one consistent current set of image, full-sheet, paper, mat, window, mount, and display details; do not append a second entry. Its status remains personal practice and not for sale, and the home display creates no exhibition, sale, or public-demonstration commitment.
