Do not store or display works of art in areas of potentially high humidity or water leakage, e.g. basement, bathroom, outside walls, under pipes. Avoid areas where temperature and humidity fluctuate, pictures or where there is inadequate air circulation, e.g. attic animals and places listed pictures above. Do not hang artworks over or under radiators, heating and cooling vents, active fireplaces, humidifiers, and vaporizersA. The hygroscopic nature of wood means that it will take water from the atmosphere and expand, but it will contract as the humidity lessens. animals The direction of shrinkage is almost always around the circumference, which causes a solid piece of wood to crack vertically. pictures Keeping it in a steady relative humidity can stabilize the sculpture; if the wood does not absorb or release moisture, it will no longer expand or contract.

Bronze animals is an alloy of copper with other metals that modify its hardness, color, and ability to be cast into a detailed mold. When bronze is cast it is usually a gold color. After the casting and finishing is completed, the surface is often treated with chemicals and heat which patinates the metal, coloring it green, brown, black, or a combination of the colors. Foundries usually apply waxes or other coatings to the surface of a patinated outdoor bronze to protect it from pollutants. This wax may wear off in pictures time. We recommend annual animals maintenance by a professional conservator. The surface of the sculpture pictures may be washed to remove pollutants and dirt, and waxed. If done annually, the rate of corrosion will be retarded (though not totally eliminated), and disfiguring rain streaks will be minimized. I collect animals twentieth-century furniture. How pictures can I best preserve it? Some twentieth-century furniture was created from non-traditional materials, such as foam, plastic, and cardboard.

Then Lile got an old unix machine together (being a unix systems administrator, this was fairly simple) and registered animals art.net with the Internic. Once the domain was created, with the help of friends, she brought up art.net onto the Internet. Lile started contacting artists about the San Francisco Bay Area who might be interested in showing their works on the Internet and helped them come up on art.net. She visited many cafe''s to see the pictures local artists works and enjoy the coffees. When she saw works she liked, she contacted the artists and offered to help them come up on the animals Internet and the WWW via art.net. Many artists took the plunge and are now resident artists here at art.net. Artists from around the net started hearing about Art on the Net or would discover the art.net web site via the WWW.
