Sunset Bundle #1 — Nine Original Works for Your TV
Nine sunsets and the sea
A yellow Chevrolet at the waterline. A figure alone under a gazebo as the sky goes. Birds crossing the sun. The moment the light stops being orange and becomes something else.
Each one began as a photograph I took. I enhanced each one digitally into the oil-painting style you see, and none went out until I had studied it and approved it myself.
No special TV needed. If your TV can show a photo, it can show these. They look best on a 4K TV.
Every picture comes twice
Plain for your screen, and framed — a frame painted around the picture itself, so it looks like a framed painting on any TV: a real molding, a mat color drawn from the picture's own palette, and an engraved name plate. Eighteen files in all. Most people are surprised by which one they end up preferring on the wall.
What you get
- Nine works at 3840 × 2160, full 4K
- The same nine again, framed
- A signed certificate of authenticity for each
- A guide to putting them on your TV, written from my own living room
- Instant download. Nothing ships. Bought once, and yours to keep.

Before you buy — what your TV needs
At the very least, a USB port, or an app that shows your own photographs. Most TVs made since about 2012 have one or the other. An older set with neither can still do it with an inexpensive streaming stick. A television with no USB port and no apps at all cannot display these, and I would rather tell you that now than take your money.
Not sure? Email me the make and model before you buy. I answer these myself, as soon as possible.
Using them
Show them on up to five screens in your own home, or at a business you own or operate — a restaurant, an office, a waiting room. Keep them for good. Please don't print them, resell them, share the files, or use them to train an AI.
What it costs, put another way
A framed 20×24 reproduction print — not an original, a reproduction — runs about $76 at a local home design store. One picture, one wall, one frame you cannot change.
For about the same money you get nine original paintings, made from my photographs, each one finished by me, each one framed as well as plain, each with a signed certificate. On a screen you already own, and you can change which one is hanging whenever you like.
Who made them
I grew up in a family that could never leave a blank surface alone. My father designed automobiles and drew cartoons, and my brothers and sisters draw, design and photograph. I took pictures for the love of it, and I have always believed the eye matters more than the camera. The proof for me: 120 of my pictures are on ViewBug, where they ranked in the top 10% most viewed among 4.5 million photographers in over forty countries.
Over the years I have taken more than 400,000 photographs. I went back through them and chose the ones worth finishing, many of which no one had ever seen. Now each one becomes a digitally rendered painting, shaped by my own eye, and nothing goes out until I have studied it and approved it myself.
