    I found this at a thrift store today - but I think one of the workers may have spilled coffee (probably cuban coffee; it's a favorite down here!) on it because of the streaks & that they are still sticky - but there is also a brownish something - see next to last photo - that is also sticky?
    It's signed Zinn; does anyone know who the artist is?
    Is it worth cleaning?
    CAN it be cleaned?
    Thanks for any help

    The coffee might actually be the best part of that painting!

    I see some damage other than coffee. I like the bright colors and something about it being surreal. I would try cleaning it with gentle wet cotton. And would gladly display it in my living room :happy:

    It has a southeast Florida vibe for sure.

    Somehow it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.

    That's it say_it_slowly!
    It's funny but I found prints, cards & more of his work for sale but no original paintings?
    Think I'm going to have to see cost to get it cleaned by someone who knows what they are doing!
    Thank you again!
