[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 9753879, member: 16407"]I really like this oil painting that I bought 6 months ago. It's 16" x 19" (40 x 48 cm), on board, and is unsigned. The problem is the painting looks yellow and dirty. Is it beyond restoration? The yellow frame doesn't help that, so I pictured both in the frame and out. Should I pay to have this cleaned? Any advice? (I'm hesitant to try this one myself.)

This iPhone here in my hand does automatic color enhancement, and the pictures looks less yellow than the actual painting in real life, so I offer this last picture next to another small painting I have to better show what true colors look like: [ATTACH=full]479067[/ATTACH] Thank you as always for any comments![/QUOTE]
