The colors stand, worn but unbroken.

Weathered Union captures the American flag in layered strokes of deep blue, crimson, and aged ivory. The stars and stripes emerge through scraped texture and softened edges, suggesting endurance, history, and the passage of time rather than perfection.

Capsule Tales are narrative works as much as visual ones. Secured to the back of this original painting is a wax-sealed envelope containing a short, original story written specifically to accompany the piece. The story does not explain the image — it extends it, offering a deeper current beneath the surface and inviting the collector into the atmosphere beyond the frame.

This original 11 x 14 mixed-media painting is created on canvas-covered board and sealed in clear resin to enhance depth and luminosity. It arrives ready to hang with hardware installed and includes a Certificate of Authenticity attached to the reverse.
