Embers 2000Poster con cornice

Embers 2000 shows a low fire burning down to coals, with a few pale ashes at the edge. The paint is laid on in dry, thin layers, the way Andrew Wyeth built up his tempera studies, so the heat seems to sit just under the surface.

The framed poster is a print set in a wooden frame with a back panel. It arrives assembled, so you can put it straight on a hook. The paper has a flat finish that keeps the burnt reds and greys even under a lamp.

In a study, it works beside a desk. From the doorway you see the glow of the coals first, then the small flecks of ash where the fire has cooled.
