Description
Sunrise I – a reflection cutting the water
Wall art melts sky and water into one surface and then loses the line between them, hanging a white-gold sun low in the upper half and drawing its reflection straight down the picture: decorative painting, its light shut into the middle by a bottom edge darker than anything above it.
Technique and texture
A knife laid the paint in short flat strokes that never merge, so the surface catches the light of the room from many angles at once. The reflection is white and yellow, dropped vertically over red that had already been put down, and their edges mix where they met. The tree masses were beaten in with short dense strokes and given no branches of their own.
The motif
The reflection is not a straight line: it widens as it comes toward the viewer and breaks into separate bright patches, the way light does on water that is moving. The dark masses at either side do not match — the left one is lower and tighter, the right taller and looser. The bottom edge is the darkest band in the picture, and it is what keeps the glare shut inside the middle.
Setting and placement
Short knife strokes catch the light from many angles, so the reflection shifts as anyone walks past. A living room or a dining room gets more from that than a bedroom does, simply because people cross those rooms more often.

Sunrise I: sizes, stretcher and delivery
Sunrise I is painted in 17 landscape sizes, from 45 x 30 to 260 x 175 cm. Measure it against the furniture below and aim for about two thirds of its width: 130 x 85 or 140 x 93 cm over a 200 cm sofa, 110 x 73 or 120 x 80 cm over a bed 160–180 cm wide, 100 x 66 cm over a 150 cm sideboard, and 120 x 80 cm above a dining table.
Choose YES under Stretcher and the pink sky and red foreground arrive stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. No frame comes with Sunrise I unless you pick one, the Frame menu opens at Without frame. Delivery of Sunrise I takes 15–45 days. The painting is hand-painted on canvas in short knife strokes, and the white-gold reflection on the water is not a print.
The first photograph shows Sunrise I in an office above a low wooden cabinet, in the optional pink-silver frame, and the second photograph shows the same canvas on an easel, where the raised palette-knife strokes are visible.
Questions about Sunrise I
Which size of Sunrise I fits above a double bed?
Over a bed 160–180 cm wide choose 110 x 73 or 120 x 80 cm, so the red foreground does not outgrow the headboard.
Does Sunrise I arrive ready to hang?
Yes, choose YES under Stretcher and the canvas with its white-gold sun is stretched on a wooden stretcher before it ships.
Is a frame included with Sunrise I?
No, a frame is optional; the Frame menu defaults to Without frame, and you can add one to go with the pink sky.
Can I order Sunrise I in a size that is not listed?
If none of the 17 sizes between 45 x 30 and 260 x 175 cm suits you, ask us about a painting made to order with the same reflection on the water.
