@jan dale,

Gala is correct: pure water and gentleness is the key. Please don't use any solvents. I'd do the cleaning sooner rather than later, as bird **** may be acidic or contain chemicals unfriendly to oil paint.

I think we waited long enough for the punchline! So how does a bird **** on a painting?! Laughing

What a great premise for a joke. If anyone can think of a good punchline? Anyone?

He takes it off the wall and puts it on the toilet seat. Then he rehangs it when done.

(that's the best I can do. it's a little weak, but i kind of like the image of him bothering to remove it and then rehang it)

@Gala,

Kudoos (and a giggle or two) for trying! Smile

@tsarstepan,

Thank you, although, I'd like Ms. Dale to come forth and make the real explanation. I don't think she realizes how in suspense I am about it.
