The blogging world is fascinating but I don't quite have the hang of it. Note the topic that I posted back in November last year that went nowhere.
Recently I've become interested in a new topic. I had occassion to restore a painting completed by a woman artist in 1901 to her great grandnephew and wrote about it in my blog: kozachekart.blogspot.com
I had come across the painting, of all places, on top of a pile of hedge trimmings near a public park. What question it prompts is what will happen to our artwork generations removed from our present lives?

You must have quite an eye! I always hear stories of artwork at a garage sale being sold for less than $10 turning out to be valuable.
A fasicinating part of your new interest is the artwork in countries in civil war or invaded. The history and very identity of a culture may be lost and destroyed.
