The Open Compass
A brass pocket compass lies open on torn parchment, seen from above, its lid throwing a long shadow. A traveller's still life in espresso, umber, and gold.
This is an original piece printed in its own fixed palette, so there are no color options.

About this print
The composition looks straight down: a wedge of cream parchment crossing a dark, brushy ground, and the compass sitting open at its center with the needle caught mid-swing. The brass case and its shadow carry all the light in the piece, and the surrounding umber has the depth of aged varnish. It is a natural study piece, at home among maps, books, and things brought back from somewhere. An office, a hallway shelf wall, or a living room corner with a reading chair all suit it. Printed to order at gallery scale in its own fixed palette.
