Parisian Cafe in Blue Ink Canvas Print

‘Too safe,’ said nobody standing in front of navy ink on off-white. This is a hand-drawn Parisian cafe striped awning, tall shuttered windows, potted bay trees, tables out front sketched in one confident blue line. Put it up and a plain wall stops being a plain wall. You get the feeling of a side street in Paris without anything trying too hard. It earns its place above a console in a hallway, next to a coat hook by the front door, or on a kitchen wall above the kettle. Works with oak, rattan, linen and white ceramics. Resist hanging it next to another heavily patterned print it wants a bit of breathing room around it. Stretched canvas gives the line work a softer, more relaxed edge.
