About This Image

There was something magical about Williamsburg at night. The glow of Lantern light has such a warm and cozy feel. There’s just something about it that no matter how antiquated it may be, the warm light reminds you of a happy home, doesn’t it? It must have been imprinted on us all long ago. This is just the quintessential example of a cozy cottage and life in the mystical olden days that time has painted rosy. I don’t know if the lanterns were real or electric. I had my suspicions but frankly it was an illusion I didn’t want to shatter.

I remember well taking the photo this artwork is based on. It was just after dark and I was waiting on the streets of Williamsburg for a night tour to start. I glanced over to one of the buildings that was still open and the scene I saw felt so utterly timeless. A little slice of classic architecture with a lady resting on the windowsill in her period outfit. There is a cool blue darkness outside contrasted with the warm orange light within. And the bright glowing lantern light by the window. Was it a hundred years ago? Three hundred? Truly a timeless moment – perfectly classic.

This became one of those stolen moments I had to capture. There’s a real feeling of a place and time long past but with us still in spirit. A place in our collective conscious where lantern light still glows golden, warm and brightly. Doesn’t this print make you feel like you’ve landed some place special and likely a place you’d find yourself surrounded by loved ones? I smile inwardly (at least) every time I look at it.

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
