By evening, the pair of cowgirls stops looking decorative and starts working. The pink in the painting bounces off lamps and warms up the whole wall, so the room reads softer the longer you’re in it. Hang it where you actually spend time above a bed, a dressing table, or a slim console in a dressing area. It wants room to breathe, not clutter. Pair with white-painted timber, linen, rattan, and pale ceramics. Keep accent colours quiet soft cream, dusty pink, the odd touch of brown. Don’t try to balance it with another big, busy piece. This one likes being the loudest thing in the room. The canvas keeps the painterly texture front and centre, with no glazing between you and the brushwork.
