Soft blush pink and pale blue drift across a light, open ground, while denser passages of navy, burnt orange and charcoal gather at the edges, as though the sky is holding its breath just before the weather turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Story\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Calm Before is part of The Sublime Horizon, a collection inspired by the fleeting beauty of a distant thunderstorm I watched roll across the horizon from my garden. From a place of safety, the storm transformed the sky into a luminous expanse of orange, immense natural power becoming unexpectedly serene. This piece captures that in-between moment, just before the storm arrives, when the air feels still and the colour has only just begun to shift. Painted with bold colour, expressive brushwork and richly textured impasto, it explores the paradox at the heart of the sublime: the coexistence of awe and tranquillity, chaos and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Details\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMedium:\u003c\/b\u003e Acrylic on wood panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 30.5 x 30.5cm (12x12”)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Original abstract painting, one of a kind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSignature:\u003c\/b\u003e Signed on the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Varnished with a removable UV gloss varnish.

The soft blush and pale blue give it a quieter presence than some of the others in the collection, even as the darker edges hint at what's coming. A lovely choice for a space that could use a little stillness. Every brushstroke is hand-applied, so no print can replicate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI package and ship each piece carefully from the UK.
