To Do: Nothing, Slowly Canvas Print

From the doorway, the vertical reads clean. Up close, not polite. A pair of hands breaks the surface with wine in hand, and the whole wall relaxes. Put it where people gather with a drink and it does the talking for you: a kitchen wall by the fridge, a bar nook, a downstairs loo, the run of wall beside a dining table. The soft pink sky keeps it warm, the turquoise water keeps it fresh, so it lifts a plain off-white or pale blue wall without shouting. Pair it with pale wood, linen, chrome and a few sea-green ceramics. Don't hang it among serious framed landscapes or family portraits — the joke lands better with a little breathing room around it. As a canvas the surface stays matt with no reflections.
