You'll Work It Out Mouse Canvas Print

The black frame matters first; it tells the study you're serious. Behind that firm edge, the mood loosens right up: a small mouse in a straw hat, both thumbs up, painted properly in oils against a deep green-black. The room gets a lift without getting loud. It works best at eye level above a desk, on a narrow stretch of wall beside a bookcase, or in a hallway where you pass it every morning. Pair it with dark timber, cane, aged leather and a mustard or olive cushion or two. Skip the busy pattern directly around it and don't crowd it with three other slogans — one message on a wall is funny, four is a noticeboard. As a canvas, the oil-paint texture in the fur and hat comes through more.
