It’s the kind of morning that makes a Lutheran pause. Not for prayer, necessarily, but for the hush. The sky’s a soft blue, like the inside of a robin’s egg, and the land below is waiting—quiet, decent, not wanting to make a fuss. There’s a line between them, thin as a thread of fishing wire, the sun is taking it's sweet time arriving this morning. 

This is the hour when the coffee’s still brewing, the dog’s not yet barked, and the good people of Lake Wobegon are standing at their windows, wondering if today will be the day something happens. It won’t. But the light makes you think it might.

 

Part of the Midwest Memory series, this piece leans into restraint and atmosphere. It’s not about the day to come, but the hush that precedes it—the cool breath, the open field, the sense that something familiar is about to return.

 

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! 

 

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.

 

The work is meticulously printed with archival inks and paper and then framed to order. Please allow 5 - 7 days for production and shipping.
