Tanagers by John James Audubon Art Print

Tanagers by John James Audubon Art PrintBack in 1837, this bird study belonged to another kind of home a library with deep shelves, oil lamps and proper armchairs. It still carries that mood. The cream ground keeps things calm while the red, yellow and deep green do the work. Hang it where you want a bit of old world character without going full country house. It sits well above a writing desk, in a hallway, or on a quiet wall in a study. Pair it with oak or walnut, aged leather, linen and

soft pink or grey-blue walls

lotus flowers

and the portrait shape fits a narrower wall

This Kyoto street scene has it — chalky brushwork

all drawn in soft coloured pencil

Looking to add a dash of bold style to your space

and the shadows on the pavement do most of the heavy lifting

a white frame lifts it into something more gallery

The pale border keeps things calm

this cat-at-the-window scene brings the check

A black or brown frame keeps it grounded

the peach ground warms the floor line
