Pink Church Street, Mexico Canvas Print

Start with the soft pink; it’ll wake every terracotta around it. That one colour does the heavy lifting, and the sky blue behind the dome keeps the whole thing from tipping into sweetness. Put it up and a plain corridor or a boxy kitchen suddenly has somewhere to look. It reads best at eye level on a wall you pass often beside a doorway, above a small console, or on the short wall at the end of a hallway. Pair it with painted wood, cane, glazed pots and plain white walls so the colour has room to move. Don’t crowd it with other busy patterns, and skip a heavy dark surround; it closes the street in. As a canvas the painted surface reads like a worked-on picture.
