Fading

I spoke too soon last night. Once I peeled the old pictures off the information board I realised how long they had been there.

Long enough for the little sunlight that hits the board to fade it.

Behind each picture there is nut-brown wood. In between the brown has faded a little toward grey. The new pictures are smaller than the old ones so I need to re-varnish the wood before putting them on. This means all the other photos have to come off and some of those will need to be replaced.

Nothing is ever simple is it ? I bet the wood wouldn’t have faded if I done this in plenty of time instead of a couple of days before a show.
