On a north-facing afternoon, the dark green looks almost illegally fresh. That is what this piece does to a room with cool light: it holds its depth instead of going flat. Hang it and the wall stops being background. The olive and sage shapes read as one calm mass from across the room, then break into ferns, oak leaves, moss and lichen as you get closer, with tiny flecks of soft pink and deep red keeping it alive. It suits a study wall, a reading corner, or above a sideboard in a hallway that needs weight. Pair it with dark wood, oatmeal linen, wool and stoneware. Skip the busy pattern nearby striped wallpaper or a heavy floral will fight it. On paper the fine detail in the leaf edges stays crisp.
