Description
Blue Shadows – two ovals on cream plaster
Two soft blue-grey oval shadows breathing on warm cream plaster – nothing else, the quietest piece of the series: the large oval stands left of centre, nearly full height, gently tilted, its foot fading out at the bottom edge.
Technique & Texture
The second, smaller oval is cut by the upper right corner, only its lower left flank visible, and both have soft, breathed edges without any outline. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – a heavy plaster texture runs through both ovals, with drag-marks, pinholes and diagonal scuffs.
The Motif
The cream field warms toward the right and the bottom, and at the lower left barely visible pencil-fine scratches run. Clouds or imprints caught in silence – a composition that believes in the beauty of minimalism and emptiness.
Styling & Placement
A meditative painting on canvas for bedrooms, living rooms and offices; the blue ovals calm the eye, the cream plaster warms the room. Wall art for quiet, bright spaces.

Blue Shadows in 14 square sizes
The painting Blue Shadows is made in 14 square sizes, from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm. The cream plaster and the blue-grey ovals need air around them, so above a 200 cm sofa choose 130 x 130 cm, which covers about two thirds of the sofa width. Over a bed 160–180 cm wide, 110 x 110 or 120 x 120 cm feels calm, above a 150 cm sideboard 100 x 100 cm, and in a bright hallway 70 x 70 cm.
In the photograph, Blue Shadows hangs unframed on a grey wall above a round wooden side table with a chair beside it. Select YES in the Stretcher menu and the canvas with its plaster texture arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for Blue Shadows is optional, chosen in the Frame menu that begins at “Without frame”. Delivery of Blue Shadows takes 15–45 days. The ovals and the plaster are hand-painted, so Blue Shadows is not a print.
Questions about Blue Shadows
Which size of Blue Shadows works in a bedroom?
Above a bed 160–180 cm wide choose 110 x 110 or 120 x 120 cm, so the two blue ovals float quietly over the headboard.
Does Blue Shadows come with a frame?
Not by default: the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”, and a frame for the cream plaster is chosen only if you want one.
Can I order Blue Shadows in a size that is not listed?
Yes, we paint the two ovals on cream plaster as a painting made to order in your measurements.
Is Blue Shadows a print?
No, the heavy plaster texture with its scuffs and pinholes is applied by hand, which a print cannot reproduce.
