Nakia Martin Oil Painting

View 1 Oh...the Cat and Dog scene. This one was in really bad shape. The frame needed cleaning and the painting was in tatters...more than a century of smoke and grime.	Click image to enlarge

View 2 Someone had tried to repair the painting from the back with iron on patches. This did a lot to bubble the paint on the surface, but little to repair the rips.	Click image to enlarge

View 3 The painting was re-lined onto a new canvas and the cleaning process begins above the girls head to the right and left.	Click image to enlarge

View 4 A quick peek at one of the puncture wounds near the upper right corner.	Click image to enlarge

View 6 This is a full view of the painting re-lined on the new canvas and the cleaning process started.	Click image to enlarge

View 7 The painting is now stretched on the new canvas and ready for the varnish.	Click image to enlarge

View 8 She's alive, she's alive. Now the portrait of a young girl comes alive.	Click image to enlarge

View 10 Fully framed...the client, a strong and powerful Black Man, was truly touched by this transformation.	Click image to enlarge
