If the painting looks clean and bright and as nice as the day it was accomplished, that’s because it is. After a lot of debate about what to keep and what to reluctantly sell as part of our downsizing, I took 15 paintings to my friend, a paintings conservationist, to have them cleaned. I picked them up from her Friday last, and this is one of them. All she did was clean it and apply new varnish. It required absolutely no touch-up or restorations of any kind.
