By mid-morning, the botanical study stops looking decorative and starts working. The leaves catch the soft daylight and the wall behind it feels a touch quieter, a touch greener. Hang it where you want the room to slow down above a bed, a console in the hallway, a small reading chair. It looks right on chalky off-white walls and beside pale oak. Linen, rattan, stoneware and a bit of brass all sit happily next to it. Skip glossy black furniture and high-contrast graphic prints nearby they fight the soft brushwork. The canvas gives the leaves a softer, more painterly edge against the wall.
