My new painting

I just acquired this painting at the Oakland Museum's annual "White Elephant Sale".

There are many different departments under one roof located in a gigantic warehouse.

I like to refer to it as "The Harrod's of Junk".

The Art Department is pretty fabulous!

The reason for the odd angles of my photos is that I hung it on a large wall in our narrow hallway.

What was originally a desperate attempt on my part to find a place for it,  turned out to be a most novel and unexpected surprise.  You see... we have a rather long walkway leading up to our entry.  One must walk by several windows on either side before arriving at the front door.  The painting is seen through the first set of windows on the right hand side, opposite a set of windows looking into our garage which we recently turned into our new coastal inspired, shall we say, "man cave".  It's so cozy when we are hanging out in there watching movies & sporting events to look out across the walkway and see this beautiful scene all lit up.  It's part of the room yet apart from it and I just love the unique perspective!
