Peacock in the Willow Canvas Print

Call it romantic if you want; we call it better walls. This is a peacock in a weeping willow, painted in soft pink, gold and teal, and it behaves like a small piece of hand-painted wallpaper rather than a picture of a bird. Put it up and a flat wall suddenly has depth and a warm glow, especially in low evening light. It works above a bed, in a dining room, or at the end of a hallway where you want a soft landing for the eye. Pair it with velvet, blush or dusty pink walls, brass fittings and painted or antique dark wood. Don't crowd it with busy patterned prints or hard black-and-white graphics — they flatten the gold and fight the gentle detail. As a canvas the surface has a soft painted feel, closer to a panel than a poster.
