<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Potteryplease, post: 10658393, member: 16407&quot;]I saw this 1923 painting, unframed and a little dirty, in a local antique shop last May. They wanted more than I wanted to pay, but they know me at this shop and said they would consider trades, depending on what I brought in.</p><p><br /></p><p>I came back the next day with a box of things that are collectible but that I don&#039;t love. I ended up trading two small Clifton art pots, a smallish Navajo weaving, and some cash for the painting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here it is on the bright sidewalk outside the store:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533073[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s by Louise Everett (1899-1959), who later became Louise Everett Nimmo. Her address in Los Angeles (today a convenience store) is faintly visible under her name on the back.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533074[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533075[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533076[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.californiapaintings.com/artist/louise-nimmo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.californiapaintings.com/artist/louise-nimmo" rel="nofollow">https://www.californiapaintings.com/artist/louise-nimmo</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Living with the painting for a while, I decided I really did love it and so I took it to the restorer. He cleaned it and framed it. I opted for a smaller frame, since it&#039;s big (30&quot;x40&quot;) and something streamlined would better match our decor.</p><p><br /></p><p>I picked it up yesterday, and am really loving it. Might be my favorite thing I&#039;ve ever found.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533077[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533078[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533079[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533080[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for lookin&#039; and thanks for all the help everyone here has given me, which has bettered my &#039;eye&#039; and improved my hunting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
