Your original painting was created to be enjoyed for many years to come. It is protected with a satin Gamvar varnish as a last finishing touch before leaving my studio. With just a little care, you can help keep it looking beautiful.
Display with care. Hang your painting away from prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade or change over time.
Avoid excess moisture and heat. Choose a space with relatively stable temperature and humidity. Avoid hanging your painting in bathrooms, directly above fireplaces, or near heating and cooling vents.
Dust gently. If needed, lightly dust the surface and frame with a clean, soft, dry cloth or a very soft brush. Avoid water, household cleaners, or cleaning sprays on the painted surface.
Handle thoughtfully. When moving your artwork, hold it by the fame whenever possible and avoid touching the painted surface with your fingers.
Most importantly, find a place where you'll get to enjoy it often. Original art is meant to be lived with, loved, and become part of your home.
If you ever have questions about caring for your piece, please don't hesitate to reach out.
