From the doorway, the loose brushwork reads clean. Up close, not polite you can see the painter’s hand in every balcony rail and shutter. A quiet room gets warmer and a little more well-travelled. The eye walks the street, finds the pink building at the end, and slows down. Hang it where people sit and talk above a sofa, a sideboard or a hallway console at eye level. It also holds a wall on its own above a long bench or low cabinet. Works with pale oak, linen, terracotta pots and warm white walls. Skip pairing it with very busy patterned wallpaper or another loud cityscape let one travel scene do the talking. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang straight from the box.
