After the north-facing light shifts, the bedroom suddenly has a pulse. This is a quiet piece, but it changes the temperature of a room: the soft blue background cools everything down, and the single white bird gives the eye one clear place to land. Walls that felt flat start to feel considered. Hang it above a chest of drawers, between two windows, or on a narrow hallway wall where you pass it daily. It sits happily with pale wood, linen bedding, white ceramics and rattan. Keep the area around it simple busy patterned wallpaper or a crowd of small frames will cancel out the stillness that makes it work. As a stretched canvas the loose brushwork reads as a real painting on the wall.
