Yes, this bird painter knew how to charm a room and how to cut. The heron is soft and quiet; the brown and deep red check behind it is anything but. Put it up and a flat wall suddenly has pattern, warmth and a bit of wit. It holds a narrow hallway wall, a bedroom chimney breast, or the gap above a small writing desk. Pair it with dark wood, cane, cream painted walls and a checked or striped cushion or two. Don’t crowd it with other patterned art one strong check per wall is plenty. As a canvas, the painted brushwork reads softly and the edges stay frameless and clean.
