Peacock and Chrysanthemums Canvas Print

Yes, the old Japanese bird-and-flower painters knew how to charm a room — and how to cut. The warm sand background does the charming; the blue neck and the yellow chrysanthemums do the cutting. Put it up and a quiet, neutral room suddenly has a focal point without gaining any noise. It sits well above a bed, a sideboard or a dining console, and it holds a square wall on its own. Pair it with linen, dark wood, rattan and glazed stoneware, and let a chalky off-white or soft clay wall carry the warm background. Don't crowd it with busy pattern or strong graphic prints — this one needs a bit of empty wall to breathe. As a canvas the soft painted surface reads warmer and more relaxed.
