SOURCED FROM
A 50 YEAR COLLECTION
Where does the art come from?
My father is a retired flight instructor for a major airplane manufacturer in Seattle,WA. The job allowed him to travel the world and visit all of the major museums.This experience started his love for art. Over the past 50 years he has collected more than 3,000 pieces of fine art. My mother has also been an artist for many years so my dad learned to be a master framer. My daughter calls this art collection "Grandpa's Gallery". Grandpa has now decided to
offer this unique collection of eclectic fine art to you, the public. We think of ourselves a little like an art adoption agency. We are hoping to find good homes for these 3000+ pieces of art where they can be loved and admired daily.

FRAMED AND READY TO HANG
Each piece of art is framed and ready to hang. Some frames have been restored to almost new, and some original frames have a patina appropriate to their age. Each frame is as unique as the art itself.
