Lyall Bay Sunset - Limited Edition of 10 Print

I loved Lyall Bay ~ I lived there for a while -I used to like to see the planes come and go, a reminder that escaping the "splendid isolation" of New Zealand was very much possible -and I needed that reminder. "Stranded in Paradise" was the title of a book about New Zealand Rock and Roll, I remember thinking that it was rather a dramatic title (of course it had to be -to sell Mr. Deek’s book...) ~but I thought that it was a little melodramatic. I no longer think so -it was "on the money" -even if the book lacked our story. We can all write our own books -and share our own pictures. My Favourite element of this picture is the way that the sunlight hits the waves rolling on the shore like molten sunshine, ~even as it's dusk and the day is "dying" on the beach. The Colors are Amethyst, Celtic Blue, Fuchsia, China Purple, Amaranth Pink, Black Coffee, Black Olive, Black Coral, Bisque, Blue Jeans, and Carolina Blue. From this perspective, you cannot see it, but to the left of this vantage are houses on the hills of the bay -and the ring the road, almost to the beech all away around the inlet, and to the left is the busy city airport where (prior to the pandemic) planes were landing (quite literally) every 5 minutes. My point is that from this perspective, it looks like you are deserted alone on a pacific beach, perhaps a castaway waiting for a ship to sail by so that you can signal it -and perhaps be rescued. You could also imagine that you are living in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, enjoying a serene sunset. It really depends on how you choose to "frame" your reference. I like to think of this image is as a reminder of our personal power, and of the beauty that can be found ~if we look.

Chromoluxe Reproductions: (Limited edition of 10 only for any of my images). Chromoluxe means two things: Durability and Definition. This exclusive edition of 10 images will be created using the new Chromoluxe aluminum printing technique for high-quality large format art. The colors leap from the surface to produce vibrant melodious images. Your investment will retain its birth-date energy and integrity. You will appreciate this stunningly vital picture that is so spirited it will appear to levitate off any wall. The Chromoluxe sublimation technique means that the image is embossed into the slimline metal sheet that has a hanging frame on the back so that it sits out from the wall -by a couple of inches. This means that your rare edition print will seem to “float” just in from of the wall. You won’t need to make a separate payment for framing or worry about breakable glass and expensive heavy frames to carry (if you move to a new house). This print will be scratch-resistant, durable, and will retain the image’s vibrancy ~for a lifetime. This is 21st-century printing, high definition and literally, state-of-the-art.

Durable, appreciable, and gallery-quality. Side on, the print appears as a slip sheet of aluminum, from the front, the colors are glossy and intensely vivid. The panel has smoothed corners and looks sleek and elegant. (You can opt for a matte finish if you prefer).
