First Light

from $95.00

There are twenty minutes every morning before the day starts asking things of you. In those minutes, the sky turns a color that is not quite gold and not quite peach. That is the sky in this sunrise painting, over red, orange, white and soft blue blooms, with teal at the roots where the dark still lives.

I painted the sky first. Six inches by nine. It belongs on a bedroom wall, where you'll see it first thing.

The original is the pastel itself, one of one. The print is 8 x 12 in and part of an edition of 25.

If you're buying for your mom, this is the morning painting: the sky before anyone else is up.

First Light.

The original: This is the painting itself, soft pastel on grit paper at 6 x 9 in, made by my hand one layer at a time. The sanded surface holds every layer on its own, so each one stands out and builds on the one before. It is the only one that exists. I hand sign every original, and I sign its certificate of authenticity with the same care.

The print: Each print begins with one of my original pastel paintings and is made to keep everything pastel does best: the soft edges, the layered color, the texture you want to reach out and touch. This fine art print is a giclée print, made with archival pigment inks on museum-quality Somerset Velvet. The paper is archival, with a soft, velvety surface. Every signed limited edition print is hand signed by me and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Only 25 will ever be made.

Details: 8 x 12 in, edition of 25. Packed by me and shipped from the US within 1 week. For Christmas, order by Thursday, December 10.
