The Last House Before the Sky Took Over / 36 x 36 / Acrylic + Canvas

** SOLD **

The story begins where certainty runs out. A wide green field stretches forward, uninterrupted, except for a small house that seems almost surprised to find itself still standing there. It isn’t abandoned, just quiet—holding its place as the land slowly gives more and more space to the sky.

Above it all, the clouds spread in pale layers, expansive and unhurried, as if they’ve already claimed the future. The distant hills soften the horizon, blurring the line between what is solid and what is passing. Nothing here is dramatic, but everything feels deliberate, as though this moment has been waiting to be noticed.

The Last House Before the Sky Took Over tells a story about humility and scale—about realizing when to stop building, stop explaining, and let the vastness speak for itself. It is the pause between holding on and letting go, where the world feels both immense and unexpectedly kind.
