Blue Striped Vase with Ferns Canvas Print valentine's day photographed in soft late-afternoon lightAgainst warm plaster, the deep blue reads less sweet, more deliberate. The mix of soft pink, mustard and inky brushwork warms a room without shouting, and the loose painterly feel keeps it relaxed rather than formal. Hang it in a kitchen above a sideboard, in a dining nook by the window, or in a softly lit living room where afternoon sun lands on the wall. It plays nicely with oak or walnut wood, cream linen, hand thrown ceramics and brass fittings.
