Original 1970 Manuel Lepe Naive Primitive Mexican Folk Art Painting. This is a beautiful and classic Manuel Lepe naive primitive watercolor painting of Puerto Vallarta dated 1970 by the artist. Overall, this painting is in excellent original condition. The colors are still vibrant. There might be a little fading to the black stroke outlines throughout the painting, but it still presents very nicely. The only condition issue that I can find to mention is what appears to be a graphite(pencil) mark or smudge in the upper right white margin area. I’ve provided a close up shot of this below. Otherwise, there’s no water stains or other damage issues to mention. This painting is framed and under plexiglass. The frame appears to be quartersawn oak and has a nice early 70s era look to it. As you can see, the outer edge of a trim piece attached to the frame has been painted. I would personally remove that paint and keep this original frame, but I will leave that to the next owner. The frame and all measures 31 9/16 inches in length by 25 9/16 inches in width. The artwork in the frame measures 27 1/2 inches by 21 3/4 inches. I have not removed this piece from the frame, so it’s possible the measurements are a little different outside the frame. Also, as you can see in the bottom picture there’s what appears to be some strawberry jelly stains dripping down the backside. I apologize for this. I’ve scraped this off as best I can, but the stains are still there. BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS. I strive to receive 5/5!! That’s they’re new system. Heavier items will cost more. So I do sometimes add a couple of dollars to the cost to cover myself. I guarantee everything I sell. However, I go to great lengths to provide correct measurements and nice big pictures of every detail. If you fail to do so, or the piece doesn’t fit properly, I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can do. However, I sometimes don’t get around to leaving the feedback for a week or so. Here’s a link.. This item is in the category “Art\Paintings”.
