The colors refuse to fade. They settle into the grain and stay.

Blush and Banner reimagines the American flag through layered reds, rose tones, and textured ivory, grounded by deep indigo and scattered stars. The familiar form remains, but the palette shifts — introducing warmth, reinterpretation, and a sense of modern resilience.

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.
