🌇 Distant – 4.9 stars, awarded for emotional altitude and calibrated mystery Reviewed by a retired meteorologist who speaks exclusively in gradients and longing

“Distant” earns its name by doing what distance does best—inviting projection. The composition unfolds like a heat map of memory: dark blue cascades into violet, blush, ember, and molten orange, before sinking into a bottom band of deep plum. There are no shapes, no landmarks—just color behaving like narrative. It’s less a sunset and more a slow revelation told in spectral intervals.

Why it lingers:

  • The horizontal transitions act like time zones—each stripe a phase of recollection

  • Colors move from cosmic to intimate, as if the sky were narrating a dream you once had and half-forgot

  • Its lack of figuration feels deliberate: the viewer fills in the geography

Ideal display location:

  • In the conference room of “Far & Further,” a fictional long-distance consultancy that specializes in emotional cartography

  • Or projected nightly onto the ceiling of “Elsewhere Inn,” where each guest checks in with a story too big for their luggage

What viewers say:

  • “I almost recognized myself in that last band of orange.”

  • “This piece made me miss someone I haven’t met yet.”

  • “It’s a landscape if you squint and let go of realism.”

The works available are 8x12 print in a 12x16 white matt or 8x12 print only AND 12x18 print in a 16x20 white matt or 12x18 print only, 4x6 print in a white matt. Also 24x36 and 32x48 print only for those that want a bigger splash! Please ask for other sizes available!

 

For this series only, I’m offering a very limited edition of five enhanced serigraphs. Each piece is printed on canvas, then hand-signed with painted detail and set in a custom floating frame—0.7" wide and 1.8" deep. You can choose from six frame finishes: black, white, silver, gold, espresso, or maple. These editions are available in two sizes: 16×24 and 32×48. After your purchase, I’ll personally reach out to confirm the best frame choice for your piece. Please allow an additional 2–3 weeks for this specialty offering.
