Finally giving this painting an extra archival varnish. It’s best to leave an oil painting 6mths to a year before applying this varnish, as the paint underneath needs to be completely dry. It’s now good for another 500 hundred years or so! Nice to know that her painting will live on with her wonderful writing for generations to come. The Druid Theatre Company have special plans for this piece that was commissioned to be painted onstage during the performances of ‘Boland - Journey Of A Poet’.
