frame change

My Dad found this painting sitting next to a dumpster.  He thought I might like the frame.  I do like the frame but I also like the painting.  I just didn't like the colors together.

I decided to freshen up the frame with a little paint.  I think it looks much better!

This painting reminds me of a beach we would go to when we lived in New York.  
Jones Beach.  




This next painting I recently bought from an antique store for $12!  I painted this frame as well.  I can't find my before picture but the frame was beige, blah.

I absolutely love having "real" paintings in my home.  It's been fun to start collecting art for free or super cheap.  I can't wait to see what I can find at Garage Sales!

Wow- that was super cool of your dad to find and bring that to you. I really like that too! It's such a beautiful and serene beach picture. Of course, the frame job you did added the magic touch! Way to go!!!
