Description
Earth and Sky – a coastal panorama in bands
A coastal panorama in horizontal bands – a pale sky, a gold shore band, foaming blue water and a rust earth base, all in heavy impasto: the sky above is a pale blue-white knife impasto with dark navy cloud masses pressing in at both side edges, and beneath it a gold-ochre flecked band stretches across the full width, brightest right of centre.
Technique & Texture
In the gold band a small light-blue speck sparks left of centre. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – the water band is light blue with a heavy white foaming impasto through the middle, densest at the centre.
The Motif
At the left edge of the water is a charcoal cluster of dashes, to the right a dark navy submerged patch, and at the lower centre a soft yellow glow; the earth base along the bottom carries rust, sienna and amber sparks that darken toward the lower right corner. A multi-layered coastal panorama, where the blue of sky and sea embraces the gold and rust bands of land.
Styling & Placement
A soothing abstract painting for living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms; the blue refreshes, the gold and rust bands warm. Wall art for spaces that love the sea and calm.

Earth and Sky: a wide canvas for living rooms and bedrooms
Earth and Sky is painted in 17 landscape sizes, from 80 x 40 to 340 x 170 cm. Over a 200 cm sofa, 130 x 65 cm covers about two thirds of its width, and under a higher ceiling the coastal bands also work at 140 x 70 cm. Above a bed 160–180 cm wide choose 110 x 55 or 120 x 60 cm, over a 180 cm dining table 120 x 60 cm, and a long hallway takes 200 x 100 or 240 x 120 cm.
The first photograph shows the painting in a gold frame on a studio easel, and the second photograph shows the same canvas from the side, where the white foaming impasto stands out. You choose a frame for Earth and Sky in the Frame menu, which starts at “Without frame”. Choose YES under Stretcher and the panorama of sky and shore arrives stretched, ready to hang. Delivery of Earth and Sky takes 15–45 days. Earth and Sky is hand-painted with a knife, so it is not a print.
Questions about Earth and Sky

Can I order Earth and Sky in a size not among the 17?
Yes, we paint the coastal panorama in bands as a painting made to order in your measurements.
Is Earth and Sky a print?
No, the second photograph shows from the side the thick layers of white foam and gold band that the painter laid with a knife.
