Oil on canvas

I apologize if this isn’t the correct community ask, but i was hoping for a bit of help getting this frame cleaned up.

My wife and I picked this piece up today. There’s some water damage and i’m wondering what the best way to clean the fabric matting would be or if we should get it replaced.

For those curious it looks like the artist is Edward Aldrich. We think its an oil painting and from the date we’re guessing its from 97.

Thanks everyone!

P.S. I took a look through the community and the art here is amazing!

I'm still learning quite a bit but I had a lot of fun with blending her hair.

Based on the Sun Tarot card.

This memorial is for the unknown fallen soldiers of the cyborg war.

While time has obscured their names, the sacrifices they made will not be forgotten.

> ## Why this community? > In 8 days inktober starts. I'd like to have a place were people can see others results and discuss their experience daily. After failing to find a community for this event I've created one myself. I'd love to hear peoples thoughts on how this should run though. > > # What is inktober? > > Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills. Every day, there’s a prompt which everyone will draw with either ink on paper or digital inking. You may also dedicate yourself to a half marathon style Inktober by inking every second day. > > # To be discussed: > My suggestion is that we have a daily round up thread where yesterdays art is collected in one place and, if wanted, vote on our favorite piece to be included at the end of the month in a "community favorites" meta post. > > Any suggestion on how this should be run, anything we can do to make this more fun, or something not listed would be greatly appreciated. > > # Want to help the community? > I'll admit, I don't have the most time. I'd heavily appreciate it if some of you would be willing to become mods so you can make the daily roundup post, pin it, unpin yesterdays, and update a list of these posts. Of course, enforcing the rules and cleaning up spam would also be kind but I understand we all have time issues

Acryllic and ink on paper.

Inspired by Fiona Davis' novel The Masterpiece.

The book follows two timelines:

• 1929 A woman teaches art at a time when women aren't respected, and Picasso is taking America by storm.

• 1975 Another woman is dealing with shame and trauma involving a divorce and surprise mastectomy. She finds comfort and inspiration in a painting that turns out to be by the first woman.

So obviously I did this in a Picasso style. After making the sketch, it felt like filling in a coloring book, which some people find meditative, but I just find tedious. I spent way too much time filling in a patterned background but it made the image too noisy, so I covered it with semi-transparent paint. I kind of like the result. I didn't want to outline in paint, so I cheated and used pen.

Learning to water color is so frustrating 😆

I'm not sure if this piece is finished, but I'm done with it, if that makes sense.
