"One is and is not in the centre of the maelstrom of it all." (Harold Pinter)

The world that we all live in can seem pretty overwhelming at times. The plethora of decisions we have to make from day to day, some of which have deep implications for how the rest of our lives may proceed. The conflicting opinions we have to navigate. The events we observe that, depending upon our nature, may outrage us or leave us cold when others seem deeply affected.
 
This is the external world. But our internal worlds can also seem to be a maelstrom of similar complexity. The external maelstrom bleeds into us and drives our moods and our thinking.
The key phrase here is 'our thinking'. The fact that we're able to observe our thinking and acknowledge it as a process, as if we're seeing it from outside, suggests that our real self is is a different entity from our mental, or thinking self. Our heads create a lot of noise, most of which is inconsequential. If we can develop the habit of seeing our mental activity as a kind of automatic process and we can choose to act on some of it and ignore other bits, we can start to calm that internal maelstrom of thoughts that often conflict and cause stress. 
A calmer, less distracted inner self that's quietly focused on simply living is able to observe the external maelstrom with more precision. To learn from it and to participate in it selectively rather than being carried along by it.

FAQ

How are my prints made?.
Your picture will be printed to order on a museum quality (archival) 340gsm (grams per sq metre) polyester/cotton blend canvas with a matte/satin finish.
It will be printed using the latest multiple colour giclee process, with water based, latex inks, and the whole picture will then treated with a coating that protects the colours from UV light
The frames are 17mm deep and are hand made from solid oak, including the black or white versions.

How easy will it be to hang my picture?
All canvases come with sawtooth hangers and are ready to hang on your wall as soon as they arrive.

How long will it take for my picture to arrive?
I ask that you allow ten days for the production of your picture and for delivery to you. Usually, the process is faster than this.
Please see the 'Info' page for more on shipping (new tab).

Returns
Basically, if goods arrive faulty or damaged in transit, they will be replaced free of charge upon you presenting good photographic evidence.
If you change your mind, I'm afraid I operate an 'all sales are final' no returns policy. There are good reasons for this seemingly harsh approach that explained on the 'Info' page.

Colour accuracy.
Computer screens differ from each other in how they display different colours. And the way colours are reproduced on canvas or paper is different again from how it is displayed on a screen. The printing process is calibrated to account for these factors but there might be slight differences from the way a given colour appears on screen and appears on your print.

Please contact me if you have any other questions.
