Frames constructed of wood or metal are generally stable; the adhesives, padding, and coverings made of twentieth-century materials may be less permanent. Once some types abstractlandscapes of synthetic fabrics and fillers have begun their deterioration, there is nothing at this time that will reverse it, but it can be slowed down. For furniture, just as for all other types of art objects, reduce exposure to light, especially ultraviolet radiation, which seriously damages textiles, plastics, and dyes. Handle the furniture from its most stable and widest area. Simple preventative measures such as felt pads and coasters will help avoid scratching plastic and surface finishes, which are difficult and expensive to restore. Commercial cleaners and waxes should not be applied to surfaces because they may contain abrasives and solvents that will harm the finish.

How can I protect my works on paper from light damage? Even though your artwork may be framed under UV filtering acrylic sheeting, the intensity of the light and duration of exposure is a concern. Try to avoid direct and excessive daylight. Close window curtains or drape the artwork when possible. Windows can also be covered with a film or a screen that will lower light intensity and ultraviolet rays. If possible take down the artwork periodically and exchange it with another piece, allowing the work to "rest" in storage. The most light-sensitive materials include watercolors and gouache, modern color inks, pastels, newsprint and all color papers. It is important to remember that light damage is cumulative and irreversible.. My solid wood sculpture is cracking in the vertical direction. What can I do?Q. I have an outdoor bronze sculpture.

Who am I? I am an Estonian too, my name is Jüri Ülesoo. On the photo you see me with my dog Josper. I''m not really abstractlandscapes the artist but I like art. Some years ago I made some oil paintings but not now. I''ll try to be the curator for some Estonian artists on the Internet and here you see my first step - Navitrolla''s Gallery (thanks to Lile Elam and Art on the Net). The problem is that few Estonian artists have computers, good communication connection and time to learn and use it. I want to show their works to the whole world and the Internet abstractlandscapes is the best tool for it. Until the artist has his (her) own Internet connection abstractlandscapes and e:mail address I will be mediator for him. So, you can e:mail your opinions to me and I will give them to the artists. During the "day" I work as a Marketing Manager in the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian area for Finnish concern VALMET (for Valmet Automation - producer of process automation systems). I am a member of Lions Clubs International.
