Christmas Frame TV art in the old-master style: sixteen original still lifes of poinsettias in 4K, seven and a half minutes each. Two hours with no music and no narration, made to leave running as a screensaver on a Samsung Frame TV or any 4K screen.
These are done in the manner of an old Dutch flower painting: one generous arrangement on a dark wooden ledge, a single warm light falling from the left, and a deep, softly painted ground behind — navy, charcoal, oxblood, green-black. The poinsettias change from piece to piece — deep red, white, cream, pink-marbled, burgundy — and so do the vessels they sit in: an antique brass urn, a pewter jug, a copper pot, a willow basket, a blue-and-white porcelain jar, a moss-lined crate.
Poinsettias carry Christmas without the tinsel, so this one keeps working well past the 25th, into the quiet days of the new year.
It is made for a room that likes its Christmas rich, dark and a little old-fashioned.
