These are ideas that are fun to create.  Some of them are kept awhile, some sold, others painted over!  For me, it’s the creation that counts.

  1. Bullet  Avoid hanging art in direct or reflected sunlight or under fluorescent lighting.  Heat and light accelerate discoloration.

  2. Bullet  Dust oil paintings with a very soft art brush.  Using a cloth could chip the paint.

  3. Bullet  50% humidity and 70 degrees provide ideal conditions for displaying art.

  4. Bullet  Bathrooms and kitchens are an unhealthy environment for art work.  Try to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity.

Creativity is allowing oneself to make mistakes.

Art is knowing which ones to keep.
