Regal Eagle in Bloom Canvas Print

Back in the 1890s, this bird portrait belonged to another kind of home a naturalist’s study, all glass cases and pinned specimens. Given a crown of pink roses, daisies and blue wildflowers, it turns into something far friendlier. Hung up, it gives a plain room a focal point with a bit of humour in it, and the cream background keeps the whole thing light rather than heavy. It works above a chest of drawers, beside a cot, or on a narrow hallway wall where people pass close enough to notice the detail. Pair it with pale wood, cane, soft linen and one dusty pink or muted blue accent picked out of the flowers. Don’t crowd it with busy wallpaper or several other loud pictures it needs a bit of quiet wall around it. On canvas the soft cream background reads warmer and matt.
