The trees burn bright and the water holds their echo.

Crimson Reflections captures a line of autumn trees ablaze in reds, golds, and green against a dark shoreline, their colors spilling into the water below in bold mirrored strokes. The lower half dissolves into cool blues and soft movement, balancing fire and calm in a single horizon.

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 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.
