I had actually thought that I needed a smooth surface to roll back my chair often enough to get a good look, but hadn't done so. This may explain a lot. Thanks so much. Janet
Janet,
I am sorry to read about your problem, but I came to think that you could place a mirror on the wall behind you so that you can swing around and watch the painting from that distance. This will be reversed though , but you will have a certain distance without having to move allot.
Just a thought, Allan
