On a warm afternoon, the blue looks almost illegally fresh. That is what this piece does to a room: it takes a flat wall and gives it colour, humour and something to look at. The cows are painted in folk-style patterns, so the effect is closer to a printed textile than a farmyard picture. Hang it in a kitchen, a hallway or a child’s bedroom, where a bit of cheer earns its place. It sits happily with painted cabinets, pale wood, cane chairs and blue and white china. What it doesn’t want is competition: keep the wall around it clear and skip busy wallpaper or a crowded shelf directly underneath. On fine-art paper the pinks and blues stay clean and bright.
