Continental Divide — Fine Art

Continental Divide - 1981 shows a wide painted field built from soft bands of colour that drift across the page. The paint moves in long horizontal sweeps, with some areas thinner and others thicker.

Paul Jenkins worked in this way throughout his career, letting thin washes and fluid marks guide the eye along the surface. The fine art print keeps that painted feel with a matte finish that holds the softer tones without shine.

A dark frame on a pale wall lets the lighter bands stand out, while a wood frame beside timber furniture gives the picture a steadier look. It fits a hallway wall near the stairs, where the long colour bands run parallel to the steps and the eye follows them as you pass.
