The Violet Period paintings are as follows:
Strokes of Violet Genius
"The seemingly uncaring strokes of a paintbrush against this canvas has deposited differing shades of
violet watercolor paint in a seemingly haphazard fashion. But - were they truly uncaring strokes?
The more one looks at this seemingly abstract piece of art, the more they're able to take in. The careful
latitude based strokes give an eerie feeling, as if the painting is a curtain and all one needs to do is simply peel it back...
A painting within River Valmonte's Violet Period."
Starting Bid: 5,000 coins
Sunset at Violet
"A watercolor painting on a rather long canvas, depicting a sunset that occurs with various hues and
shades of the color violet. As the sun sets it often casts a prism of colors against the clouds, and these
colors can usually vary... Thankfully, for this painting, the artist has captured violet. A painting within River Valmonte's Violet Period."
Starting Bid: 15,000 coins
Hushed Static
"Do you hear that?
No, of course you don't. How foolish.
This watercolor painting has been brought to life with careful and precise taps of a paintbrush
against a canvas. It betrays the shades of violet in all of their various glory. If you stare long
enough at this painting, you feel yourself fall into a trance... White noise enters your head.
What? This is a painting within River Valmonte's Violet Period."
Starting Bid: 10,000 coins
The Lapping Shoreline
"This is a painting of a lapping shoreline of a lake, done in various shades of violet with watercolor
based paints. One can swear that they hear the water's sound against the edge, coming in with
the tide and going out with it, all in a careful balance with the moon above. A painting within River Valmonte's Violet Period."
Starting Bid: 5,000 coins
Impossible Forest of Nightmares
"The woods speak to you.
The woods haunt you.
The woods chase you.
Unlike other pieces, this one invokes fright beyond comprehension. Even if what you're
afraid of doesn't exist, it pops into your mind when you view this painting for long.
It's done with watercolor paints in a violet coloration, with tall trees scraped
out in black chiseled paint. A painting within River Valmonte's Violet Period."
Starting Bid: 15,000 coins
The Horizon Under Dawn
"Sometimes, there is no more beautiful idea than that of a misty horizon, where the light catches
the clouds and the ground just right. To where everything feels to be at peace and serenity. This
painting invokes that same feeling in a way and the more you gaze upon its watercolor hues of
violet, the more you sink into relaxation. A painting within River Valmonte's Violet Period."
Starting Bid: 10,000 coins
Vanta Violet
"With this specific painting, the hues of the violet paint have been pushed to their
absolute limits, with the artist seeking to go as dark as possible without sacrificing the color.
This is the result: Vanta Violet!
The watercolor paint has bled into the canvas freely, and the strokes all
across it reinforces this point home. A painting within River Valmonte's Violet Period."
Starting Bid: 10,000 coins
Vanta Violet Part Deux
"A smaller companion piece to the original and larger Vanta Violet.
Like it's original, this smaller canvas covered in blotches of wet ultra-dark violet watercolor
aims to go even further beyond what was accomplished in the original. Darkness permeates
this canvas like a sponge that has been forced to clean up a terrible mess. A painting in River Valmonte's Violet Period."
Starting Bid: 5,000 coins
Violet Duality
"As a departure from the rest of the works within this period, this piece strikes a bold duality. On
one half of the canvas is violet watercolor pressed professionally in, with broad tantalizing
strokes, and on the other half there is but a single splash of violet paint that has run down
briefly before drying. Whatever this means is entirely up to the viewer: beware, however,
lest you get lost debating morality. A painting within River Valmonte's Violet Period."
Starting Bid: 5,000 coins
As a note: These paintings will only be available during the auction!. Once the auction is up, they will be gone forever! Buy while you can!
