Horizon Line No. 14: Verdigris Field

Part of the Horizon Line Series, this piece captures the specific green of oxidized copper infrastructure found throughout Northern California — the verdigris patina on aged roof flashing, gutter systems, and decorative metalwork on historic buildings from Sausalito to Healdsburg. The saturated teal-green occupies most of the composition as a near-monochromatic field, with fine horizontal striations creating surface texture that references the directional grain of corroded metal. A cream border frames the field, giving the piece the quality of a color study or material sample — the green isolated and presented for its own chromatic value. This is the collection's freshest, most singular-color piece — one decisive hue carrying the entire work. Ideal for mid-century modern interiors where teal or green serves as accent color, contemporary bathrooms seeking fresh color with sophisticated restraint, or bedrooms where cool green tones create calm without the blue-heavy maritime palette of typical coastal art.
