There was a large article on the booming construction in Marina Del Rey and evidently this restaurant was the first in the community. I got a chuckle over how the magazine editors got the theme of the restaurant wrong, but based on its name alone, it's an understandable mistake. I've also included a close-up of the artist's signature just in the hopes that someone might recognize it. :up: there was probably better detail on the original painting. The picture in the magazine was very small. [ Edited by: Sabu The Coconut Boy 2011-05-29 21:13 ]
