On a north-facing afternoon, the soft pink looks almost illegally fresh. That is what this piece does to a quiet room it warms the light without adding noise, and it gives a plain wall something human to hold on to. The figure is simplified right down, so the colour does the talking: pink, deep red, a little green, all sitting on a warm cream ground. Hang it at eye level in a bedroom, a study or a hallway, where people pass slowly. Pair it with linen, pale plaster walls, warm wood and simple stoneware. Keep the wall around it clear busy pattern or competing bright colour flattens the softness completely. Printed on premium fine-art paper, with the option of a real wood frame.
