Vintage Folk Art California itinerant painter A.Cedro bar nude

Description

60” x 36”
Got it in a dusty old barn in Wickenburg,AZ. Thinking I would restore it,after 3 years in the garage tripping over it.
Thought I would at least get ride of the nasty dusty old frame.
A little note fell out, something about the painting was from a hotel up in Northern California .
Makes sense with the info I found looking up the artist.
As legend has it, Cedro became despondent after his wife left him. He subsequently decided to seek revenge by traveling from saloon to saloon throughout California and the Pacific Northwest, painting large nudes of his former wife in exchange for spirits and food. Years later, Cedro traveled with Admiral Robert Edwin Peary to the Arctic to document at least one of his historic trips.
A lot of work to be done.
I was thinking I might cut her in half & frame it if I don’t sell it.
Look at the photos for your description.
I am not sure how to ship her….
