Summary
Wide, sunrise blue-gold abstraction with a quiet sense of ascent and two faint figures. Calm, luminous, and versatile for living spaces, offices, hospitality, and well-ventilated baths (Metal/Acrylic).
Artwork Statement
I painted Third Day 3 in a season of renewal—cool waters lifting into warm light. The scene holds a breath before breakthrough, and in the glow two gentle wayfarers begin to appear.
Edition Notes
- Edition: Open Edition Fine Art Print.
- Source: from the original acrylic on canvas (20 × 16 in).
- Format: panoramic crop to 16:9 for spacious, horizontal display.
- Tonal polish: brighter whites, warmer golds, deeper navies; gentle micro-contrast for large-format clarity.
- Figure emphasis: subtle articulation of two latent figures (center-lower) using hand-applied digital brushwork.
- Signature: discreet artist signature at lower right on the print master.
Integrity Notes
- No external imagery or AI was used. The figures were brought forward from the original paint by selective dodge/burn and soft-brush work on the same pixels.
- No compositing; texture preserved; minor dust/edge cleanup only.
- Color-managed, archival workflow prepared for museum-grade substrates.
Color & Mood
- Palette: sunrise golds and warm whites over aquas, teals, ultramarine.
- Mood: serene, hopeful, gently ascending.
- Light column creates a natural focal point without glare.
Design Notes
- 16:9 panoramic width works over sectionals, consoles, soaking tubs, and headboards.
- Feathered transitions pair easily with stone, oak, rattan, flax/linen.
- High-key whites bounce ambient light; cool base calms open plans.
Bathroom Suitability
Excellent in well-ventilated baths and spa zones. Prefer Metal (ChromaLuxe) or Face-Mounted Acrylic; avoid unsealed paper in humid rooms.
Where It Works
- Living rooms & great rooms (statement width above sofas).
