While cleaning out my mom and dad's house I came across a lovely oil painting that my mom painted about 65 years ago of a woman carrying water. I think she did a superb job with the painting with the exception of the face which needs some shading around the chin area. She must have felt the face needed work too because I can see where she penciled in some shading around the side of the face and just under the chin. I would like to try and finish the face for her and then get it framed. My question is, should I have this done professionally and if so, where do I find someone qualified to do this? Also, how do I clean the painting? It's a little dusty after all these years.

This painting was on the living room wall at my grandmothers' house and it scared me as a five year old (just like my grandmother did). It shows a woman holding her child and they are being transferred via a rope into a lifeboat below. They are halfway between the ship and lifeboat and they are in tremendous peril. The painting is darkish and the seas are rough. The ship is a steamer and I'm guessing the era is early 1900's. The life boat has men manning the oars and others holding the lifeline and reaching out for the mother and child. There are people at the rail of the ship and some are helping with the transfer and some are watching. The painting is cropped so only the side of the ship is seen, fairly close up. Close enough so you can see the expressions on the faces of the people involved. Size of the painting roughly 36"w x 24"h. Painting is not a Zichy or a Claxton. Thnks & rgds.

I've a bunch of beautiful fish that I want pictures of, but I can't get a good picture out of my camera. Does anyone have a few tips on taking pictures of fish inside of a fish tank with a digital camera?

I have a Panasonic DMC-FX8 if anyone has specific tips with that.

I'm a beginning to get into the art of Jewelry Designing, and can't seem to find any where near me that sells the tools.

Are there any stores that would sell the tools? Such as Mandrels, Files, Dappers, Steel blocks and such?

I need help. Desperately. I've been at this for close to five days now and I'm still next to clueless about Gothic art. I need this for my term paper that's due tomorrow.

I have all the information but I don't know which ones are relevant and which ones aren't. I can't possible include all of them in.

Which is why, I need help. Does anyone know the important events in gothic art? Starting from Abbot Surger and St. Denis. I just need the important events to point me to the right direction.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have looked all over the internet for this poster (for my mother), and I cannot find a website or shop that stocks it! I have tried hundreds of poster and print stores, but still no luck...

Anyone have any ideas how I can get hold of a copy?

Thanks.

The pictures are all supposed to be connected in some way - tell a story I guess. My original idea was the power of words, and I was going to go to a protest and take pictures, but there weren't any protests over this weekend, and I have to have this done by Monday. One of my friends did food as her theme, and another went to a conservatory to take pictures.

I'm really at a loss right now. Anybody have any good, creative ideas?
