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

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 wildlife and print light and duration of exposure is a concern. Try to wildlife avoid direct and excessive print daylight. Close window curtains or drape the artwork when possible. wildlife Windows can also be covered with a film or a screen that will lower light intensity print and ultraviolet rays. If possible take down the artwork periodically wildlife and exchange it with another piece, print allowing the work to "rest" in storage. The most light-sensitive materials include watercolors and gouache, modern color inks, wildlife 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.

The idea of having such a site came to Lile while she was involved in an open studios event in April. She was displaying many of her new oil paintings in her studio when a friend and young print entrepeneur came through and wanted to purchase an oil painting entitled "Art on the Net". They talked about how wonderful wildlife it would be to have art up on the Internet for viewing and he offered Lile internet access for a WWW site that would help artists share their art. So like many things in the art world, the site began with a barter with print Lile trading the oil painting, "Art on the Net" for an Internet connection for one year.
