"March Morning - Montecito"

A few of our favorite things ...

plein air art ...
the California coast ...
Montecito, where we celebrated our wedding dinner ...
early California artist John Marshall Gamble (1863-1957 Santa Barbara, CA) ...

And as of this morning, this painting:   'March Morning - Montecito'.



This breathtaking work by Gamble will be on auction at John Moran Auctioneers (Altadena, California) and will go for an estimated $70,000/90,000.   And, in my opinion, worth every penny.

If money were no object, and if I didn't need a new car ... well, the first being the most necessary bit :-) ... this would hang where I could see it every single day for the rest of my life.


Visit John Moran Auctioneers on-line at http://www.johnmoran.com/ to see more - they also auction estate jewelry and antique furniture.  Incredible, delicious things.
