I took the pic 2day.

I love it, such wonder thru the snow.

... the weather got colder this week and the Leucojums are entirely
covered with snow again.

I remember when I was at Winterthur, the museum seeing such.
I worked there for a while as a paper conservator.

Were it books(printings) or paintings that you've been mainly working with?

I mostly still work on paper objects. Prints, a lot of Pa German
Fraktur, and many other items of value on paper. We have done some
oils, by such as NC Wyeth that have never been published.
We have done many things over the past 40 years or so. We have a way
of "washing" pastels using ultrasonic mist and a suction table. I
have also built a numbe of those over the years.
