It’s human nature to be drawn to look at any people depicted in artwork… and if they happen to be a person lurking in the woods, it immediately casts an ominous feel to a landscape that is otherwise be quite beautiful. By removing the hunched, zombie like lurker, and replacing it with the peaceful groundskeeper and his cowardly dog, my aim was to transform the feel of the painting to something that makes you feel safe and secure.

There is some discolouration but after the initial clean I was happy to leave it as it goes with the look of the art. There were some dents in the canvas (which can happen from leaning on it) but I repaired it  so it is now minimal in the corners. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrame : The original vintage frame is of very good quality, sturdy and not coming apart as so many old ones are. It had been banged and some of the moulding had been previously chipped off and re-glued by the previous owner. It came to me with a couple plaster pieces missing, and I had those repaired and then touched up so they aren't noticeable. It has been rewired and is ready to display on the wall.

The moment when Luna Lovegood said to Harry that she could see the thestrals, too, would have been so reassuring to someone who could not believe what creepy monstrosities they were seeing. The way Luna was so gentle and accepting towards them helped change the way Harry saw these misunderstood creatures. So with this altered painting, I wanted to share her view of thestrals, and imagine them in a world where they are perceived as gentle beasts, who love a good run through the grass and to feel the wind through their wings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis alteration is on a vintage print of the painting titled “Wild \u0026amp; Free Horses” by American artist Harland Young (1924 - 2015.) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal print quality : This print was produced c1960, and over the years it has slowly lost its vibrant colour due to sun and environmental damage. I decided to keep the original faded colours as it worked well with the ethereal feel of the thestrals.

Sitting in my dark office, I love the idea of popping out to Honeydukes for warm cauldron cakes, or over to The Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer. I imagine that there were days that winter wasn’t so pleasant in Hogsmeade village, and perhaps sometimes it was a little more like the winters I experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo with this altered painting, I was inspired to share my muggle view of a not-so-magical winter in Hogsmeade. I enjoyed adding wonky chimneys and rooftops, street lights, and of course the local pub and candy shop for the locals to visit to for a treat. I added wisps of smoke from the wonky chimneys to help imagine that the town is full of people, cozy in their homes on this miserable winters morning. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis alteration is on a vintage painting signed Luigi Matti. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal art quality : This painting was in rough shape, with food splatters, lots of cracking, dents and paint chipping.

It was made of an unusual composite material that I can only relate to insulation\/foam of some sort. It had been stored somewhere with animals and had chew marks all along it. I had gone down the path of refinishing it to try to salvage it... but in the end felt that it was a cheaply made frame and wouldn't complement the detail and quality of the artwork. Fortunately I was able to find a solid wood vintage frame that does complement the artwork. The inside trim was painted a crisp white to bring out the new bright whites added to the painting during the alteration. It has been rewired and is ready to display on the wall. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAltered Muggle Art : With this collection, I’m capturing magical moments from my non-magical “muggle” point of view.
