Feng Shuii Tips for old oil paintings/ storing restoring The paintings on your wall is what we hardly think about. once bought with so much love and paying hefty sums we hang the original oil paintings on the most prestigious place of the wall and then it hangs there for years and years.
Have you thought what type of Feng Shuii energy this art will keep producing?
This has nothing to do here with the subject, colour, theme or frame of the painting(which is another Pandora's box, of you have been following art effects and symbolism power of wall art on your life with a new release of my latest fiction on Amazon Kindle,The fire on My Wall!) .
Today I am sharing the paintings on your wall energy as the years go by how they accumulate negative energy and then gradually keep spreading this poison arrows towards you and everyone viewing it.
while the home and every furniture is dusted and cleaned we feel art must not be touched. And the painting also does not show any signs of dust even after years. what you notice is a mellowing of colours, subdued tones and we feel this is natural.
With painting since the past twenty years I have seen so much on art, I have repainted canvasses, I have torn and burnt them, reused, recycled, upcyled and even framed so many that my house is a mini art gallery!
Feng Shuii Tips for old oil paintings
1) Like everything else oil paintings need to be cleaned. If you know how to clean oil paintings do it, if not take professionals help (sharing here in this post how to clean oil paintings at home) do not tell your maid to clean the costly wall artworks.
2) It is good to once in a while remove all art from wall and give the wall time to breathe free. This is my practical experience since I have art as old as year 2000. You will not even know mildew may develop, pests and spiders may make home in the wood canvas paintings and even ants or mites may feats on the original costly art! simply follow this step to save your precious oil paintings.
3) Empty walls need to be space cleared using feng shuii purification techniques before reinstalling the artworks on wall. Once you remove all the frames you will notice the wall feel heaviness, I do. It is good to space clear by wiping off dust, insects, cobwebs if formed, burning incense or letting the wall breathe for a day is good. This helps remove stagnant energy that may be embedded in nooks and corners.
4) For activating chi it is good to reshuffle oil paintings and hang them in different spaces. This is a wonderful way to activate fresh chi in your home. You can change places of your old paintings and you will feel a fresh surge of newness, new energy into the room.
I have tried this and it feels really great! you see the painting in a fresh perspective, new light, newness comes to your room, and just with shuffling your paintings.

| feng shui for old paintings tips |
1) they are tacky and always will be. storing acrylics is a major issue as they stick together if stacked one over the other. And if you are like me, an obsessive painter, I have more than two thousand artworks, many on paper, then I seriously needed to save them!
2) Applying gently talcum powder with a soft brush helps a lot.
3) clean the artwork, apply talcum powder, dust more on the sticky portions of the painting.
4) Dust off as much as possible, smoothen it with soft muslin cloth, dabbing in. Remember not to have too much powder as it will make the art look muddy and dull.
5) Store paper paintings in folders of not more than fifteen in one folder, so that they do not have much load.
6) Horizontally storing is an issue unless you have drawers for every folder. Vertical is best as they get space to breathe.
7) for canvas boards painted in acrylics keep thermocol pieces in between each canvas board so that the edges do not get scratched.
For storing restoring old oil paintings Feng Shuii-
lots of dust, visible and invisible accumulates on the oil paintings.
The wall paintings get energy accumulated by viewers, people glancing at them, touching them, maybe scratching them accidentally or intentionally,(my wall art has faced this all) as the temptation to touch original art is too much to stop!
1) as mentioned above removing, reshuffling and space clearing procedures apply for oil paintings too.
2) Large canvas oil paintings need to be restored for healing their scratches or travel abuse effects.Yes, while in transport too the oil paintings accumulate stress and bumps, jerks which affects its energy.
3) If you have bought it from a gallery, from artist, from sale, from art dealer art agent, will have an effect in the energy stored by the artwork and this will transmit into your space.
