Columbia Jay by Audubon Canvas Print

In the 1830s, this would have felt radical. It still does. Two long-tailed blue jays sit on a mossy branch against a creamy off-white background, with deep blue plumage running into sweeping tail feathers. On the wall it brings a single saturated note of blue into a room and softens anything too sharp or too modern around it. Hang it above a console, a low bookcase or a writing desk where the long tails have room to fall. Pair it with dark wood, aged leather, linen and warm brass. Skip the temptation to surround it with other bird prints or busy florals it carries a wall on its own and gets noisier when crowded. Printed as canvas wall art, stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang.
