Where the sea turns emerald beneath a sky set aflame.

Last Light in Polynesia captures the charged stillness of a cresting wave under a vibrant red and amber horizon. Palm silhouettes lean into the heat as teal water gathers itself for one final rise before nightfall. The contrast between fire-toned atmosphere and cool ocean blues creates a moment suspended between motion and memory.

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 scene — it deepens it, extending the warmth of late summer air and the hush of shoreline departure beyond the painted surface.

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.
