Try it above the writing desk; the vertical will do the editing. A room with a lot of wood, paper and books tends to go flat in the middle of the wall, and this fixes that with one small flash of purple and green. The bird sits low on its branch, so the eye lands where you want it, then travels up through the empty cream space above. Hang it in a study, a hallway or a bedroom corner where you sit and read. Dark wood, aged leather, deep green paint and stoneware all support it. Don’t crowd it with bright modern colour work this needs quiet neighbours and a bit of breathing room. As a canvas it reads softer and warmer, with a woven surface that suits the aged paper tone.
