Had one this morning as I was getting ready to put the painting back on the stretcher frame. Took a few deep breathes and figure out the solution. Nothing is written in stone doing this work and chemical situations come up often. Cleaning solutions mainly, what kid of dirt and what will remove it with out damaging the paint.
OH my son was shooting darts the other evening and when I came in the shop the next morning I saw the score card him and his friend were keeping and the painting is a few feet away from the board he set up. I let him know how irresponsible he was and what could of happened.
My son is an awesome craftsman with repairs ,and is much better then I am so he got the message LOUD and clear. So now he is thinking of school for conservation. I wounder if it is just to appease me. But he would very good at this work.
