Mr Gresham is staring me down this morning. A full year of piecing him back together has been a challenge for all of us here in the studio.

This beauty came into the studio last week covered in dirt and years ni****ne staining. A gentle cleaning brought it back to life. Its purported to have been created by a galveston island painter around the 1880’s. After cleaning, the colors popped. We decided against a varnish because the paint film was perfect and the artists original intent would have been this gentle matte sheen. Would you add a varnish? It would definitely richen up the colors.
