If any of you out there ever find a priceless historic artifact, and are in need of the services of a top restorer to bring it back to its original condition, you may want to contact this woman.

Fantastic story. Made me laugh for ages.

My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.

Who is to say? Her representation might be accurate; I think they should leave it the way it is.

If you look aty the art of the American woman Grandma Moses then you might realise that it may not look like the Dutch Masters but it might one day be worth untold.

Personally I think this woman who 'restored' the painting has produced something that I would prefer to hang on the wall long before I hung a Picasso! People pay fortunes for Picassos art and I dont think much of it at all and the bonus with this womans art is that underneath it all lies a master...a bit like a scratchy ticket - you dont know if theres a winner underneath or not!!!
