"Painting" is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a surface. In art the term describes both the act and the result which is called a painting...

"Painting only can "describe" everything which can be seen and suggest every emotion which can be felt! Art reaches back into the babyhood of time, and is man's only lasting monument!. " (William Hunt, Talks About Art)

An art collection is never incidental - it has to be built up slowly and with considerable expertise. While it is true that art must first appeal to our senses.

Preventive Conservation
This is one of the most important aspects of art conservation. Preventive conservation does not require all of the skills that a conservator associates with conservation, and prevention does not always entail direct intervention with the objects. Preventive conservation is extremely important and is the ideal in any situation, as potential damage is recognized and stopped before it occurs.
