At late afternoon, the loose brushwork turns from nice idea to main character. The wall stops being a backdrop and starts holding the colour conversation in the room. Deep green, navy, soft pink and mustard pull in the cushions, the cover of a book on the coffee table, the warm cream walls. Hang it in a living room or study, above a low sideboard, a writing desk or a reading chair, at eye level so the painterly marks read clearly. Pair with pale oak, linen, woven jute and simple stoneware. Avoid putting it next to busy florals or strong geometric prints this one wants room to breathe. Stretched as a canvas over a wooden frame, ready to hang straight from the box.
