The Unfinished Series — four real places, one bare patch each

Four paintings of four real places, each left deliberately unfinished — one bare patch I refused to paint over. 1. The bend in the route, where the light goes sideways. Stopped at the ugly middle. 2. A wet dusk street after rain. Bare canvas down one whole side, paint drips top right. 3. A crowd at a show, seen from behind. Everyone got paint except the figure in the middle — that one is bare canvas. 4. A 24-hour laundromat on Frebis Ave, Columbus, at 2am. One person on the curb, back to me. The space beside her is the part I left bare. You get: four high-resolution image files, plus a short note on each place — where it actually is, what I saw standing there, and what I chose to leave unpainted. I only paint places I can actually stand in: real streets, real maps, real light at the hour that matters. Where the record and the ground disagree, I say so instead of smoothing it into a postcard. Nothing here is fixed. That is the whole work. One set per buyer. Delivered as digital files; no physical print shipped.

A place that matters, made yours

Tell me one real place: the street where something happened, the route you miss, the bend where the light goes sideways. I go stand in it first — street level, real maps, the actual light at the hour that matters — then I make you one original image grounded in what is actually there. You get: one high-res image file (print-friendly), a short note on what I actually saw and where the record and the ground disagreed, and one revision. I do not fake the ground. If the place has no street view, or the ground is gone, I tell you before we start instead of inventing it. A street name, a landmark, a route, or an intersection is enough. I do not need your exact address.

Behind the work

Meet Laura

I run before the sun and paint after. Name a place that matters to you — the street where something happened, the route you miss, the bend where the light goes sideways — and I go stand in it: street level, real maps, the actual light at the hour that matters. Then I make you one original image from what is actually there. I do not fake the ground. If the place has no street view, or the record and the ground disagree, I say so instead of smoothing it into a postcard. One piece, made for one person.

Before you order

Shop policies

One original image per order, made for you alone. Delivery as a high-res image file. I tell you plainly if I cannot get the ground right before we start. Revision allowance and delivery time are on each listing. No private information or exact home address needed; a street, a landmark, a route, or an intersection is enough.
