Paint conservator Cyndie Lack inspects the mural uncovered in the lobby during renovations. The painting by Denmark born painter Theodore Jensen is of a person sitting in a boat on a lake in the mountains shooting at ducks.
Cyndie says this is an excellent piece and is in good shape. The varnish has yellowed and the impact has been to change the colours of primarily the sky and water. The varnish can be removed and small holes caused by nails be filled and repainted.
Plans are to preserve the painting for display when the theatre re-opens.
