Description
paintings – Horizontal – gold light over still water
Wall art bisects an upright canvas with a single horizontal line, gold-yellow light burning above a dark row of trees and a pale blue-grey surface lying below it: painting on canvas still just landscape enough to be recognised as one.
Technique and texture
The upper part is laid in thin translucent coats running from yellow through ochre to rust-orange at the right edge. The horizontal band of trees is the opposite, dense and dark, put on in short chopped strokes. The lower half is rubbed and scratched — in places the paint is scraped back almost to the canvas — and long vertical traces run across it like reflections on water.
The motif
The horizontal lies a little above the middle and is the darkest part of the picture. Above it the light builds toward the upper edge and is strongest left of centre. Below it the pale blue-grey plane falls to the foot, where it turns a warmer grey-brown. Greenish and ochre tones pushing through the lower layer suggest another painting underneath.
Setting and placement
An upright format and a very calm range suit a bedroom, a bathroom or a hallway. Hung beside another canvas of the same height, the horizontal carries across and gives both a shared line to rest on.

Horizontal: sizes, stretcher and delivery
Horizontal is painted in 15 upright sizes, from 30 x 50 to 180 x 305 cm. Because the gold light and the dark row of trees sit in a tall format, the painting belongs on narrow walls: 40 x 70 or 50 x 85 cm between two doors or in an alcove, 60 x 105 cm beside a wardrobe or tall bookcase, and 70 x 120 cm above a console about a metre wide, close to two thirds of its width. A high stairwell wall can carry 90 x 155 or 100 x 170 cm.
Pick YES under Stretcher and the canvas with its blue-grey water arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. Horizontal comes unframed unless you add a frame in the Frame menu, which starts at Without frame. Delivery of Horizontal takes 15–45 days. The translucent gold coats and the scraped lower half were made by the painter’s hand, so the canvas is hand-painted, not a print.
Questions about Horizontal
Which size of Horizontal suits a narrow hallway wall?
Between two doors, 40 x 70 or 50 x 85 cm works well; the upright band of gold light over trees fills such a wall by its height.
Will Horizontal arrive ready to hang?
Yes, choose YES under Stretcher and the canvas with the gold light and dark trees is stretched on a wooden stretcher before it ships.
Does Horizontal come with a frame?
No, Horizontal is unframed by default. The Frame menu is set to Without frame, and you can add one that suits the pale blue-grey lower half.
Can I order Horizontal in a size that is not listed?
If none of the 15 upright sizes between 30 x 50 and 180 x 305 cm fits your wall, ask us about a painting made to order.
