The painting itself
The weight leans to one side, and the other side has to hold it.
The subject is placed slightly off-centre, which buys the painting a sense of movement.
It carries no secure date and is listed under Winslow Homer.

Why this one cannot be printed
A print flattens a landscape into a poster: the distance collapses, and the sky stops being weather. Painted by hand the depth comes back, because the painter mixes a cooler, weaker version of every colour for the far ground and lets the near ground stay loaded. That judgement is the painting.
Each commission is priced on its own terms: dimensions, surface build-up, frame. WhatsApp us the details and you will have an exact quote back, typically within the hour. You are talking to the people who will actually paint it, not a middleman.
What size works
Nothing is pre-made, which means you pick the dimensions. The sizes below cover most requests:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 40 × 16 in | 102 × 41 cm | Stairwell, or a hallway with room to run |
| 48 × 18 in | 122 × 46 cm | Panoramic wall, open-plan living area |
| 60 × 20 in | 152 × 51 cm | Lobby, hospitality corridor, large loft |
| 72 × 24 in | 183 × 61 cm | Villa scale, double-height wall |
| 30 × 12 in | 76 × 30 cm | A long wall that would swallow a normal canvas |
| 36 × 14 in | 91 × 36 cm | Above a wide sideboard or a long console |
The list is not exhaustive. Send your measurements and we will quote to them. Framing and freight are separate line items. Customs duties and import taxes are the buyer's responsibility (DAP).
Message us the dimensions you have in mind and we will come back with a figure.

In a hallway where the view is the point — that is where this one settles. We do not crop to fit a stock size. The canvas is cut to the original's proportions, which matters if the composition is unusually wide or tall.
What people ask us
Will the light effects survive reproduction?
Sunrise and sunset passages are the hardest thing to copy mechanically, and the easiest to get wrong by hand. The painter builds the glow in layers underneath, the way the original does.
When will it actually arrive?
Studio time is roughly two to four weeks, then a few more days for the oil to set before we can photograph and pack it. We tell you where your canvas is at each stage.
What size should I order?
You choose the size. Each canvas is cut to your measurements rather than pulled from stock, so tell us the wall dimensions and we will tell you what proportion works.
