I have been a Premium "Gold Leaf" member since the beginning, and as such have found the content of nearly every posting to be both informative and even deep in subjective knowledge. For that, as in this portrait, you have made the restoration more than just as process, but a philosophy. Thanks for dozens of lessons on the "zen'' of restoration, Julian.
