Christmas Frame TV art from a single painting: two antique brass bells tied with tartan ribbon, held on screen for two silent hours in 4K — no music, no narration and no cuts, made to leave running as a screensaver on a Samsung Frame TV or any 4K screen.

This one is about brass. Two old bells lie on a dark wooden ledge among fir and holly, tied together with a red-and-green tartan bow, and the whole picture is lit by one warm light falling from the upper left. The wall behind them is a deep green-brown — dark, but never flat black, because a true black void would swallow the brass instead of letting it glow.

It is one image all the way through: no slideshow, no transitions, no zoom. What moves is the light. A soft pool of warm lamplight drifts slowly across the painting over the two hours, so the glow on the brass is never in quite the same place twice — too slow to notice from one minute to the next, the way light shifts in a real room through an evening.

It is made for the weeks running up to Christmas, on a wall in a room that is already warm.

How to watch on your TV

No Frame TV needed. Open the YouTube app on any smart TV (Samsung including The Frame, LG, Sony, TCL, Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast), find this collection on the Quiet Frame TV channel, press play and go full screen. It runs for hours in silence, so you can leave it on as wall art. More on watching
