In Smooth Sailing, a single white sail cuts cleanly through an open field of blue, rising like a quiet blade of light against a vast sky. The sea is rendered in deep ocean tones, while the horizon and distant landmass sit low and understated, letting the composition breathe. Beneath the boat, the wake unfurls in rhythmic, crescent-like strokes, bright, looping marks that feel both natural and deliberately designed.
The work is built on restraint and clarity: big, confident negative space; a limited palette; and a strong vertical pull. Yet it isn’t static. The wake becomes a luminous path, almost calligraphic, suggesting forward motion and steady progress even in near-still conditions. The title lands as both literal and symbolic: calm water, clean direction, and a sense of things moving the way they should.
On the wall, this piece functions as a tall, elegant statement, which is ideal for narrow spaces that need a single, confident artwork to anchor them: entryways, hallways, stair landings, studies, and modern living areas. It also fits beautifully in coastal interiors and calm, minimalist rooms where blue is used as atmosphere rather than decoration.
Available in five vertical formats: 10" × 20", 15" × 30", 20" × 40", 24" × 48", and 30" × 60".
