Great Blue Heron by Audubon Canvas Print

Call it thoughtful if you want; we call it better walls. A tall vintage bird study, with slate grey feathers, rust flashes and a long pale beak set against a warm cream ground. The room steadies the moment it goes up. The eye follows the curve of the neck down to the rushes, and the wall stops being just paint. Hang it in a hallway, study or country-leaning living room anywhere a quiet feature wall could use one good thing to look at. It sits well above a console, a writing desk or a low sideboard. Pair with oak, aged leather, linen and stoneware. Avoid hanging it next to bright modern abstracts or anything loud and graphic; this one wants room to breathe. The wrapped edge gives the heron a clean, gallery-feel finish on the wall.
