Not a Chuck Close Painting of Tim Lincecum by Carson Cistulli June 14, 2013 Because noted American painter Chuck Close has never done a portrait of San Francisco Giants right-hander Tim Lincecum, the image embedded here is by definition not an actual Chuck Close portrait of Tim Lincecum. However, had Chuck Close ever done a portrait of Tim Lincecum, it would probably bear some resemblance to the image above.
