Question Dear Mr. Vincent, I have an old oil painting that I received when my grandfather died because I had long admired it. My grandparents were very poor and heated their home with coal so you can imagine how grimy it is. Is there any way I could clean this painting. It has a signature but I can't make it out because it is so dirty. The picture is a winter scene with snow, a stream and a house with lights on. I think it would be so much prettier if I could just clean it up. Thanks for you help, Anne
