What a gorgeous painting Brian! In your Visual Art and our music together, your sense of the 'narrative' of life, the stories, social commentary and recognition of beauty in the apparently ordinary, fleeting moments of the everyday is always evident. As in this painting, you successfully imbue your work with empathy, poignancy, and atmosphere. https://lnkd.in/eSasgZiR

AN AMAZING VIDEO ABOUT ART CONSERVATION, the career that I chose in the 1980s for the reasons shown and explained in the video (never have I regretted that choice). It illustrates why conservators can be valuable resources in studies of age, attribution, and authenticity, because they spend years studying the chemistry, degradation, and preservation of cultural property - and - years looking very closely at objects. But - and this is important - do not expect most conservators to say whether an object is authentic or inauthentic, misattributed or correctly attributed, old or period, because codes of ethics and guidelines for practice for conservators require a sound basis for such opinions (not mere speculation), and offering such opinions can open them to liability. Rather, listen closely for what conservators say or don’t say about authenticity, attribution, and age; for example, “wouldn’t it be interesting to have this object examined in a laboratory” or “You might ask [so and so] to look at this.” That might be what they are able to say, that you should hear. Hope this helps.

Part of what makes a house museum so intriguing is not the expected, on-theme collections, but the oddities. The objects that stand out and make an impact just for being so very different from the rest of a collection. Delving into the stories of the quirkiest objects is insightful and sometimes silly, providing real context to the people who built and inhabited these homes. From objects to architectural details, explore 10 quirky items at different Historic Artists' Homes and Studios and National Trust Historic Sites across the country. https://ow.ly/Oqxk50Ts4kq
