From the Captain's Log

This one's a piece by Charlie Burns. It's a nice square canvas, and it's got a ton of color to it. Charlie doesn't go for fancy titles, so there's no real name for this one, but you can see his signature style all over it. Honestly, I'm only selling because I'm out of wall space.

Name the most you'd pay. We bid for you, just enough to stay in front, like eBay. Nobody sees your max, not even Captain Nemo.

How the bidding works (the short version of the Articles)
  • The first bid starts a 7-day clock. When it hits zero, the top bidder wins.
  • Enter your max. The price only climbs as far as needed to keep you in front, so you may win for less.
  • Each bid has to beat the price by a small step. Ties go to whoever bid first.
  • Some pieces carry a reserve, a minimum price kept secret. If bidding ends below it, the piece doesn't sell. The box tells you if it's met.
  • A bid in the last 5 minutes resets the clock to 5 minutes. No sniping.
  • Win, and we email a pay link. You have 3 days to pay. Pickup is at the South Loop dock.
  • A bid is a promise to buy. Please bid only if you mean it.

Description

An unframed painting by Charlie Burns, featuring overlapping whorls in vibrant colors. Each whorl is black-ringed in salmon, olive, and white, with a bright eye at the center. The dense, layered acrylic paint sits on a light ground, creating a lively composition.

This piece measures approximately 24 × 24 inches and captures the viewer with its intricate design. A painting like this might just be the closest most of us get to the kaleidoscope of a coral reef.
