Cleaning some very old and very dirty paintings
It is always fun to see these wonderful old paintings burst to life, after removing years of smoke and soot.

This old painting came in with a thick layer of dirt and a rather large tear in the canvas
 |

| Patching and strip lining are a necessity |

| Cleaning under way, piece has been patched-still needs in painting to conceal the damage |
