About Surge Breath
Nothing but water, edge to edge. A narrow strip of pale sky sits at the top, and under it the sea rises in knife-built ridges of turquoise, teal and deep navy, each crest capped with dragged white. The horizon is set low, so the water has most of the canvas and appears to keep coming toward you.
Look at it from the side and the surface changes completely: the paint stands a few millimetres proud in places, and the ridges throw their own thin shadows. That relief is the whole trick. The foam is not painted as a colour but as a direction — white dragged across the top of a crest and left to break — and the troughs are dark enough to read as depth rather than shadow. There is no boat, no land, no bird; nothing gives the water scale except the horizon line.
It is a quiet painting with a great deal of energy in it, which makes it unusually easy to live with. Horizontal, low-contrast at the top, dense at the bottom, it holds a sofa wall without competing with anything, and it works especially well at the end of a hallway where you see it at an angle and the ridges catch the light. Hung beside Golden Passage it becomes half of a pair: same sea, different hour.
Size, wall and framing
Every canvas ships rolled in a rigid tube, gallery-wrapped and ready to hang, or in a floater frame from the swatches above. Change the size here and the room preview above updates to match.

Caring for the painting
The crests are the high points and the first to collect dust; use a soft dry brush, held lightly, and work along the ridges rather than across them. Keep it away from direct sun and heat sources, and never wipe the impasto with a cloth.

Questions
Questions buyers ask about this piece
Yes. The sizes on this page are the standard ladder, but any proportional size can be made — send the wall dimensions and we will confirm the exact canvas and price the same day. There is no surcharge for a non-standard size, only the normal price step.
By card or PayPal in US dollars, against a proper invoice from Shenzhen Adam Art Co., Ltd. Nothing is charged before you approve the mock-up (for a commission) or the photograph of the finished canvas (for a reproduction). Payment is settled in full against one invoice — there is no checkout button because the painting does not exist yet — your enquiry is the order, and the invoice comes before any payment.
A print reproduces the image; it cannot reproduce the surface. Brush ridges, the slight variation of each stroke and the way oil catches raking light are what make a painting read as a painting across a room — and they are exactly what a flat print loses. Every piece here is painted by hand on canvas, signed, varnished, and shipped with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
Yes — that is the point of commissioning rather than ordering stock. You receive two progress photographs while it is being painted, then a photograph of the finished canvas with one free round of adjustments. Nothing is dispatched until you are happy with what you have seen.
Painting takes three to five weeks, then three to five business days in transit, tracked and insured. Rush delivery (three weeks, painting included) is available for $90. The price on this page is $449 for the smallest size — larger sizes and extra subjects step up on the published ladder, so there is no quote to wait for.
