Who knows

Two psychiatrists pass each other on the street. The first one says, "Good morning." The second, thinks to himself, "I wonder what he meant by that"

Michael, it was just a joke, as Denise accurately surmised. I think you may have overreacted a bit. Even if I seriously questioned the permanency of your medium, in no way was I impugning your work or you.

I'm no psychiatrist, myself, (I'm sure many might wonder if I am actively seeking the aid of one) but I think your reaction might be an indication that you yourself must harbor some doubts. The truth is, no one really knows about the long term effects of many mediums since they have not been around for all that long.

Scientific evidence, to date, has shown however that the vast majority of old master paintings contain no evidence of resins in the paint layers , and as Beth pointed out, they seem to be in better condition than much younger works. Let the buyer beware.
