It’s a quiet tug‑of‑war, isn’t it? I usually put a thin sheet of UV‑protective glass over the frame, so the light can still seep in but the harsh rays are filtered out. Then I keep the room a little cooler and ventilated, so the painting can “breathe” without the heat getting too intense. A shade draped over the easel when it’s bright outside also helps—just a soft curtain that blocks the direct sun but still lets a little light trickle in. If the piece feels too dry, I’ll add a small humidifier nearby. It’s all about finding that gentle balance where the art stays alive, but not exposed to the relentless glare.

Sounds like a good plan—just a reminder that even a little change in light can make a difference, so keep checking the canvas every now and then. I’ll try it and see how it feels. Thanks for the heads‑up.
