From the Captain's Log

I found this one in the alley. It's about 36 by 48. It's big. It's an oil painting, with a really cool frame with a felty linen around it. Again, it's just so crazy that somebody would throw this out. It might be worth a lot more than it says here, so feel free to take a look.

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

Big pale-yellow blossoms with orange centers, laid on in thick paint against deep green and navy. The canvas is set in a frame with a green velvet slip and a thin gilt border. Flowers heavy enough to need their own cabin.

The painting measures approximately 36 by 48 inches overall, showcasing its grand presence. The impasto technique gives the flowers a textured, almost sculptural look. Found in an alley, this piece might hold more value than its current setting suggests.
