22.01.2022 Back up in sunny Sydney for 5 weeks work with David Stein & Co. Conservation of Fine Art. Sea change and studio exchange!
21.01.2022 Friday afternoon painting clean, sun's out... kind of makes me want to leave early for the beach....
20.01.2022 Project for the past week and upcoming two weeks- cleaning the enormous and beautiful Leonard French Dalle de Verre (‘Slabs of glass’) window at Monash. It’s cold up that there scaffold, and we only just fit in the tiny concrete alcoves, but the surfaces and light effects we are working up close with are stunning. And it’s always fun being part of a Penny Byrne conservation team.
20.01.2022 Studio vitals squashed into two small suitcases...portable to Perth here I come. I'm sure I've forgotten something....hmmmm.
19.01.2022 Some of the stuff I was mucking around with up in Canberra....
18.01.2022 Best way to top off a conference in Hobart is a tour of Shene Estate gin distillery. Beautiful buildings being restored, lovely gin being distilled.
18.01.2022 Some jobs are particularly satisfying. Never give up on an old rolled canvas! This painting will be on display, with other rediscovered gems that I have had the pleasure of working on, in the exhibition 'Discovered life works of T.R. Pridgeon (1885-1942)' at the Victorian Artist's Society from Oct 8 - 20.
16.01.2022 If anyone knows anyone who needs a studio or office space - it's that time again... we have a space coming up in our studios at the end of August. Brunswick location, great company of two conservators, a publisher, a designer, two filmmakers and a greyhound.
16.01.2022 Baby Cheeses is in the building. Merry festive season everyone. Eat well, keep safe.
15.01.2022 Mouse vs painting. Mouse wins.
14.01.2022 Tomorrow is my last day here in Sydney working with the wonders that are David Stein & Co. I've had a blast.
11.01.2022 In this wintery weather I've been keeping warm cleaning up this beautiful little painted papier mache fire screen. These screens were popular in the 19th Century to protect one's face from the blazing heat of your fire place. The beautifully detailed painted scene which was shrouded in degraded varnish is titled 'Waiting for help'. You may as well smoke a pipe while you wait for someone to help you carry your large dead beast down the mountain.
10.01.2022 How mysterious... after finding this shilling coin tucked behind a canvas today... that takes the total number of merino sheep in the studio to 9....
10.01.2022 Day Two attending the Conserving Canvas Symposium at Yale, New Haven.
09.01.2022 It was Mary Magdalene who washed Christ's feet, right? Getting my Magdalene on this afternoon with a bit of a swabbing between the toes.
09.01.2022 Packing up the studio for a month and heading off to Copenhagen for a project.
08.01.2022 I have somewhat intense love / hate feelings towards the BBC's Fake or Fortune.
08.01.2022 Have just spent an excellent three days at the AICCM national conference here in Katoomba in this glorious venue. It was Professor Plum in the front bar with a Portable XRF. #AICCM2017

07.01.2022 Retouching a water-damaged wall painting of a Balinese rice paddy in the tea salon of a private tennis club in the suburbs of Copenhagen. Of course.
06.01.2022 Back in the studio after 5 weeks working on a project with Lin Rosa Spaabæk in Ilimanaq, Greenland, restoring a series of 18th century canvas ceiling linings in a historic house. Beautiful surfaces, under all that soot, hand stitched together from recycled sails.
05.01.2022 Cleaning mould from a painting... Hello yellow.
05.01.2022 Nothing like a Friday afternoon jigsaw puzzle.
05.01.2022 Well that was fun. What a splendid outcome!
04.01.2022 Bringing this poor flaking 70s Paris naive back to life was so fun, I felt like a kid with colouring book with the retouching.
04.01.2022 Painted by a teenaged girl in 1906 this painting was almost thrown away before its owners gave it another chance and brought it to the studio. I've had it since August (eek!), but finally finished the treatment last week. I hope it was worth the wait.
04.01.2022 Sometimes the aged varnish and old restorations come off and reveal all sorts of nasties....which then need covering up again...
03.01.2022 Several months in the making, the NGV frames and frame maker database I have been working on with John Payne is now online. Excellent resource on frames, reframing decisions and links to frame maker histories.
02.01.2022 I found no less than 5 bounding houndies in the painting I am currently restoring. I thought there were 6 but it turned out to be a deer having a lie down.
02.01.2022 Someone in the past decided St Christopher ought not to sweat so much... uncovering beads of sweat, typical Thursday.
01.01.2022 I'm sensing a theme in the work ahead for January...
