A lone sail holds steady beneath a sky still deciding what it will become.

Capsule Tale No. 2 captures that suspended moment between light and weather — thick palette-knife clouds layered in sea-glass blues and soft rose undertones, stretching above deep ultramarine water. The composition leans into solitude, forward motion, and the quiet resilience of continuing on.

Each Capsule Tale is more than a painting — it is a narrative artifact. This original 11 x 14 mixed-media work is created on canvas-covered board and sealed in clear resin to enhance depth and luminosity. Secured to the back is a wax-sealed envelope containing a brief, snippet of a story written specifically for this piece. The story does not explain the art — it expands it. Open it to discover how the sea moves beyond the frame, or leave it sealed and let the mystery live with you.

The artwork arrives ready to hang with hardware installed and includes a Certificate of Authenticity attached to the reverse.
