“Two Sails” — Deux Voiles

Two Sails
Original on Paper | Image: 6 x 8 inches | Framed: 18 x 22 inches
 
Created in collaboration between Richard and Michelle Oliver, Two Sails captures the quiet beauty of coastal architecture and open sea. The composition unfolds in soft, measured planes of colour — ochre walls, terracotta roofs, and the tranquil expanse of blue water beyond. Two white sails glide gently on the horizon, offering a subtle counterpoint to the geometry of the village below. The result is a harmonious balance between structure and serenity, a meditation on light, distance, and belonging.
 
This work is exquisitely presented in a handcrafted Italian distressed frame from Roma Moulding, whose warm, weathered tones and tactile grain perfectly echo the coastal calm of the image. The artwork is mounted with a double archival mat board and protected under museum-grade glazing, ensuring its preservation and depth of presentation.
 
The fusion of Richard’s architectural precision and Michelle’s refined design sensibility brings a quiet lyricism to Two Sails. It is a piece that feels both modern and timeless, grounded in craftsmanship and elevated by the understated grace of its Italian framing.
