Description
Grey Haze – a sky of horizontal strokes
A grey monochrome landscape of mist, built entirely from horizontal knife strokes: the upper third is a flat mid-grey sky, and the centre of the canvas is taken by a soft white cloud – the brightest and fluffiest point of the painting.
Technique & Texture
The strokes are laid in layers that overlap softly; the greys run from light silver to dark. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – every stroke has its own pressure and its own edge, so up close the haze breaks apart into dozens of silver bands.
The Motif
The white cloud is framed by two bright silver-white strands: the upper one at a good third of the height, heavier on the left, where it runs from the edge to the middle of the canvas, and the lower one at four fifths, crossing the full width. Beneath it, the grey condenses into a darker base – the ground beneath the sky.
Styling & Placement
Wall art for bedrooms, offices and waiting rooms; the monochrome palette suits any furnishing, and the horizontal rhythm optically widens the room. Ideal above a bed or a desk.

Grey Haze: an upright canvas for narrower walls
Grey Haze is a painting on an upright canvas in 12 sizes, from 40 x 60 to 180 x 220 cm. For a narrow wall or the space beside a wardrobe choose Grey Haze at 40 x 60 or 60 x 90 cm, and above a console or desk 70 x 85 or 80 x 120 cm. In a stairwell the silver bands of Grey Haze work at 110 x 150 cm, and a tall empty wall takes 140 x 170 cm. The first photograph shows Grey Haze in a dark frame beside a concrete table, and the second photograph shows it in a light frame above a white daybed with a black armchair.
With YES in the Stretcher menu Grey Haze arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. You choose a frame for Grey Haze in the Frame menu, which starts at “Without frame”. Delivery takes 15–45 days. Grey Haze is hand-painted in layered horizontal knife strokes, so it is not a print.
