SAILING SHIP AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA

I AM LINKING THIS POST TO SALLY FOR BLUE MONDAY AT http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/ . THIS IS A PAINTING THAT HANGS OVER MY LIVING ROOM SOFA. IF YOU HAVE VISITED MY BLOG YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE BLUE WHITE AND BROWNS. THIS PAINTING HAS IT ALL. I AM NOT CRAZY ABOUT THE GOLD FRAME IT IS IN, BUT HAVE NOT FOUND THE PERFECT "THRIFTY" FRAME FOR IT YET. I HAVE HAD IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND IT ALWAYS HANGS HERE IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER. IN THE FALL IT WILL BE REPLACED WITH MY CANADIAN LOGGING PAINTING. IT IS SIGNED M.S. DONOHUE AND IS DATED 3-81, SO IT IS ABOUT 29 YEARS OLD. I PURCHASED THIS AT AUCTION FOR ABOUT $20.00. IT DOES NOT FIT THE FRAME  EXACTLY AND I THINK THAT TURNED SOME PEOPLE OFF FROM BIDDING ON IT.  MUCH TO MY DELIGHT. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY AND BE SURE TO VISIT SALLY FOR MORE BLUE MONDAY TREASURES.

    That is a very attractive ship...lovely...you got it for a good deal too.
    Well....if you aren't happy with the frame I bet if you used a bit of spray paint you could make it the way you'd like it... :o)
    have a great day

    It is a wonderful painting! What about painting the frame white and doing a little bit of glaze over it- it might become the perfect frame after all!
