Madonna and Child

I got permission to post a few photos of the painting. It's like having your cherry popped all over again!

There is no specific date but we are guessing around 15oo and the restoration on this began Jan. 2009. I got to work on the foot of the baby and in an hour I finished about the size of a quarter. This is

the final stage of restoration on this piece so I was feeling pretty good about getting to touch it. Funny...didn't feel nervous at all. I was excited but maybe it's because I had just finished plastering a really old frame. Who knows...Because it's a private work we can make it all look like no damage was ever done...
