Summary

Zebulun, print frames a coastal horizon where an emerald canopy opens over a violet sea while a small watch-group gathers by a flame. Inspired by Matthew 4:12–17 (“a people sitting in darkness have seen a great light”), it reads as orienting, contemplative, and quietly hopeful. Collection: Curated Fine Art. Available on archival paper, canvas, metal (ChromaLuxe), and acrylic, with solid-wood box framing and optional mats (2″/3″/4″). Sizes: 9×12, 18×24, 24×32, 30×40, 36×48, 45×60; 48×64 (metal only). Produced by Bay Photo (USA) for color fidelity and longevity.

Artwork Statement

I painted this while reflecting on the coastal beginning of a message of renewal. The emerald canopy signals that “great light”; the violet field holds the night that is lifting; the small company by the flame suggests early listeners, poised to move. It’s a picture of orientation at the shoreline—hearing a call, pivoting toward hope, and setting out together.

Edition Notes

• Source: Open-edition fine art print derived from the original Zebulun (acrylic on canvas, 24×30 in; private collection).
• Aspect & crop: prepared in 3:4 (e.g., 24×32, 36×48). Subtle trims align to standard frames while preserving the emerald cloud and watch-group.
• Tonal work: capture glare removed; local contrast tuned to reveal brush texture and flame highlights.
• Color management: violets deepened; aurora green enriched for print readability. No new forms introduced.
• Signature: printed artist signature lower-right; Certificate of Authenticity available on request.

Integrity Notes

• No AI, compositing, or content additions—limited to crop, balance, clarity, and dust/edge cleanup.
• Brushwork, figure silhouettes, and flame points are original to the painting.
• Remains a stand-alone work within my violet–emerald coastal practice.

Color & Mood

• Palette: emerald aurora; deep eggplant and royal violet; amethyst glow; slate–sage undertone.
• Mood: orienting, coastal, contemplative, hopeful.

Design Notes

• Sweeping S-curve ground with centered emerald focal canopy; 3:4 aspect suits statement hospitality sizes.
• Impasto/scumble textures read cleanly at scale; micro-contrasts around the watch-group add narrative without clutter.
• Pairs well with cool neutrals and brushed-metal accents.

Bathroom suitability

Excellent in well-ventilated baths/spa rooms. Prefer Metal or Acrylic for humidity; smaller/medium sizes retain calm focus.

Artist Notes (expanded)

I built the sky first—thin emerald scumbles over a cool violet underpaint—so the canopy would feel like morning overtaking night. The sea sits in layered violets and slate-sage to keep the field calm; knife lifts around the watch-group pull sparks from the small flame so the story reads at a distance.

For the print master I protected shadow grain, opened midtones near the horizon, and kept edges soft where air should breathe. The 3:4 trim tightens the gather at shore without losing the arc of light. The aim is simple: let the call feel clear and the way forward gentle.
