<p>[QUOTE="Jim Goodykoontz, post: 11451329, member: 82566"]i'm now fully agreeing with this general consensus about leaving it alone. this was actually my first impression of the painting too. i did try some spit and a little solvent that i have in the lower right corner. you can kind of see the difference in that corner in the pic i've provided at the beginning of this thread. that corner has a flat look to the surface of it. i don't think it's especially damaged, but i'm definitely not going to do anymore. here are some closeups under good light of the bottom at both ends and along the center left. i see a couple of potential "sort-of" signatures, but you can really get a sense of what that area looks like. if anyone else sees a signature, feel free to chime in. these pics do give a good sense of the way there's absolutely no separating the varnish(or whatever it is) from the painting. i have to assume this was the intention of the artist.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]543962[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]543963[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]543964[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
