Here is an oil painting from 1958 that was the last work of Luke
Williams, Sr., of Spokane, Washington.

It was completed just weeks before the artist lost his sight
completely. It was left to me by my mother, in 1995.

Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Mon, 01/25/16 15:09 It is unfortunate that the painter lost his eyesight... he had an eye for color and form. The frame is overwhelming... more of a simple matte might work better with subject matter to my mind.

Comments by Michael Meek on Mon, 01/25/16 21:16 Ridbath! No, Ridpath! Comments by Larry Moran on Tue, 01/26/16 11:43 Yes, Paul. His sons Chuck and Luke owned American Sign and Indicator Corp., where my father was a Regional Sales Manager and one of the inventors of the Time and Temperature signs they leased only to financial institutions: banks, S&L's, etc. The painting was a gift to my parents from the artist. I agree with Jan regarding the gaudy frame, but that was my mom's choice and it has remained in that frame since 1958.
