Plein Air in an Over the Top Frame -

I'm not sure about the date on this one but I painted it at Laguna Beach (California). I bought this antique frame and it was missing a lot of the ornament, so I rebuilt it and re guilded it. It could be considered to be a little detracting, but I really liked the frame. It sold several years ago. The painting has a happy memory since I painted it with a couple of artist's that I used to hang around with, and we had a great day of painting, looking at art, and, of course, eating at Laguna's wonderful restaurants. Good times..............
