Bright painting of Lake Union Boats Docked with Gasworks Park (today) in background. Love the light & movement in the clouds & the reflection on the water. Can’t beat the exceptionally carved, silver metal leaf Newcomb-Macklin period frame to set off this view of a blustery Seattle Spring day.

Stunning nocturne of Native Alaskan by campfire under The Cache and the light of the moon & stars. Housed in the original Jensen Seattle carved/gilt frame.

Wonderful early, abstract expressionist work by Close, done the year he completed his undergraduate studies Magna Cum Laude at the University of Washington (Seattle). This work is compositionally similar to that of Willem DeKooning, whom he admired, and the work of his UW art instructor Alden Mason. The globbing of paint is reminiscent of the impasto Hans Hofmann created on canvas. The provenance of this piece is directly from a friend of Close at the UW. Upon meeting DeKooning late in his life, Chuck Close quoted himself as saying "Its finally nice to meet someone who's painted more DeKoonings that I have".
