The Story
A picnic left mid-afternoon under the trees: a blue-and-white cloth, a basket of bread and corn, a straw hat in the grass, and a bicycle leaned against the trunk. Oil on canvas, signed "Helen," from Artistic Impressions, the Lombard, Illinois company that sold studio-painted art through home parties; its gold "Oil Certified" seal is still on the back, and the stretcher is stamped 20 x 24, Hecho en Mexico. A framer's note dates the oak frame and linen liner to May 1993. Decorative, cheerful, and ready to hang over a sofa or a breakfast table. Pickup only.
