Painting of a cabin set below a dark blue sky and fluffy white clouds. Behind it is a field of many small white dots. In front, a dark-skinned woman sits and a dark-skinned child plays among roaming chickens and dogs in a fenced-in yard.

Placing a calm & clarity work

The quietest works are the hardest to make. Mist, moonlight, snow, a horizon with almost nothing on it — these ask the viewer to slow down before they can see anything at all. Hung in a bedroom or a room that gets used at the end of a day, they do more for a space than any amount of colour.

Direction: North-east — the quarter of clarity and first light
