Small Painting Restored

This small painting belonged to a soldier from the 60's. He had purchased it as a souvenir of his time overseas. It had been damaged by fire(smoke) and water. After cleaning it was evident that much paint had been lost. The customer could not afford a full restoration but for a small price we were able to clean it restore some of the lost paint and varnish the piece. The customer was delighted and we were happy to restore some memories.
