Sky Below, Golden Stone Well from Above

Travel / Specialty / Projects · horizontal

A view looking straight down into an old round stone well. Golden, rough-cut stones form the rim and curve down into a dark, mossy shaft. At the bottom, a circle of still water reflects a blue, cloudy sky. A fallen leaf and a thin blade of grass add small details, and the whole scene has a rippled, painterly texture.

A collector wants this piece for the moment of looking straight down a golden stone shaft and finding a small, bright disc of blue sky at the bottom. The warm ochre-and-amber stone ring against the cool water gives it an instant focal point. The rippled, painterly surface makes the view feel slow and rotating. It is an unusual overhead viewpoint on a familiar object, and it works on looks alone.
