yeah, it's hard to say exactly where they came from. The man we inherited them from frequented bars in Newport Beach and was a Merchant Marine sea captain so he might have also frequented bars closer to the harbor, ie. Wilmington... He had lots of stories of drinking with Celebrities down here in Newport throughout the 50's- 60's, but never mentioned the paintings or where they came from. It's also possible they were from another one of his brothers who were also salty guys. Navy men, fond of the drink :) But I think they lived in San Diego... Not really sure, we only found them when clearing out the last storage room in the house... Actually might have missed them, they were long forgotten about! At this point, we're just trying to connect any dots, thanks for the input!
