Wonderful early example of Post's best work, with a wonderful jeweled surface character and texture.

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".

This is a larger version of an Eastern Oregon Farm scene at twilight that I sold about six months ago. This one is 18x22 inches (the other one was 14x17) and framed in the original panel frame. This is a tight painting with a very nice surface. The sage brush and dappled back-lighting on the hills is wonderful...a prismatic rainbow of colors is created at the top of each hill by the sun being low on the horizon. Its truly a charming farm scene of the American West in the 20s. The windbreak created by the poplar trees dancing in the wind creates something of a dazzling green stage curtain popping the farmer's home in front and waiting to reveal the next scene behind it. The painting is out of a Bend, Oregon collection, and has never seen the market. This picture, I believe, is similar in location to the Wire on pg. 68 in 'The Pacific Northwest Landscape, A Painted History" by Harmon/Raban.

One of the very finest early Alaska Laurence paintings you'll see, with impeccable fellow Alaska artist family provenance. Inscribed Beluga, Alaska 1910 on the front of painting beside signature. The detail, subject and luminous light are exceptional in this painting.

Wonderful imagery with very thickly applied casein paint on burlap/masonite, exhibited at the Grand Central Galleries in NYC. Banks exhibited at the Whitney and PAFA, among other major venues. She is a Seattle artist, and this is probably an image of the Montlake Cut toward Lake Union with the University Bridge in background. Though she spent most of her time exhibiting at major museums and galleries in the major art centers of the NE USA. She is still little known, as most of her best paintings were held in her estate until very recently.

Wonderful Northwest example by Patterson. This picture perhaps depicts Mt. Index. Ref. The Pacific Northwest Landscape by Harmon/Raban, pg. 86. & American Art Review, April-May 1994, pg. 142-143 (very similar image), Where Eagles Fly, Artists of the Pacific Northwest by Maria Sharylen.

Wonderful still life with Cherries by this female that helped found the Seattle Fine Arts Society in the first part of the 20th C.
