ViviI highly recommend Lynn Kershner, a oil painting restorer. She repaired on old portrait of my grandfather that had holes and chipped paint. When I saw the painting returned to its original state it brought tears to my eyes.
Here is Lynn's website:

What does a creaking canvas sky mean?
Ah, a creaking canvas sky is a beautiful image that can evoke a sense of nostalgia and creativity. It's like the universe is gently reminding you to slow down and appreciate the beauty around you. Just imagine the soft sound of a canvas stretching in the wind, whispering stories of endless possibilities and dreams waiting to be painted.

How does a painting give the impression of power?
I think that a painting gives a impression of power because it cost's alot of money to get your painting done and how your posture is and they way you look can tell people is your powerful or not.For example Queen Anne's painting look gentle and soft and not powerful but Queen Elizabeth 1st painting look powerful. Sometimes its also about what they wear in the painting because for like Queen Elizabeth in her paintings she wears alot of jewellery (real gold) that also make her look powerful :)
How do you protect acrylic paintings?
Handle an oil painting by the frame, never touch the painting itself. Don't let anything press against the front or back of the canvas, this can create a dent or hole. Never try to repair damage yourself. An amateur repair job, given time, will show. For temporary storage or transporting, place cardboard or plywood on both front and back (slightly larger than the outside dimensions of the framed oil painting) and then wrap in 'bubble wrap' and tape or tie securely. Permanent storage should be in a custom-sized plywood crate with the painting braced to allow air flow on all sides without shifting. Never expose an oil painting to extremes of heat, cold, or humidity, whether hanging on your wall or in storage. Basements and attics are bad places to store paintings. Occasional dusting with a clean, soft-bristled brush is recommended. A very old or dirty oil painting should be taken to a professional restorer.
