Description
Bands of Night – five layers between shore and sky
A very tall, narrow format and five horizontal layers of a night shore: a velvety near-black band of sky across the upper third, beneath it a white impasto band, then a brushed blue-grey gradient of sea under night light, then a slightly tilted band of leaf gold, and the bottom is closed by a white cracked plaster field with grey veins.
Technique & Texture
Each layer has its own material: velvet, impasto, gradient, gold, cracked plaster. This is a hand-painted work of art – the golden band is a warm gleam whose lower edge dips slightly on the right, as if the tide had bent it.
The Motif
In the white band, along its lower middle and to the right, lies a cluster of black smudges – the edge of a cloud or the silhouette of a ship on a bright horizon, the only narrative in an otherwise pure geometry. The blue-grey band beneath it lightens toward the bottom – the sea catching the last light.
Styling & Placement
An elegant decorative painting for narrow walls, hallways and bedrooms; the tall format and the night palette work like a view through a narrow window onto the coast at night.

Bands of Night for narrow walls and hallways
Bands of Night, five horizontal layers from velvety black sky to cracked white plaster, is painted in 14 tall upright sizes, from 40 x 80 to 180 x 335 cm. For a narrow wall between windows choose 40 x 80 or 50 x 100 cm, beside an armchair or console 60 x 120 cm, at the end of a hallway 70 x 130 or 80 x 160 cm, and in a stairwell 90 x 180 cm.
The first photograph shows Bands of Night beside a cream wingback armchair and a brass lamp, and the second photograph shows it at the end of a white hallway between two open doors, each in a dark frame. Choose YES in the Stretcher menu and the tall night-shore canvas arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is not included, and for the night bands the Frame menu starts at Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The painting is hand-painted with impasto and leaf gold, so Bands of Night is not a print.
