Rosewood Western Muse Canvas Print

Somewhere between Matisse and modern figurative painting, this portrait refuses to behave. The soft pink background is calm, then the deep red hat and red stripes pull rank. Put it up and a quiet wall gets a face and an attitude the room stops feeling like a showroom and starts feeling like someone lives there. It works above a dressing table, at the end of a hallway, or on a narrow strip of wall beside a bedroom door. Pair it with velvet or boucl seating, cane, painted timber and warm brass, and keep walls chalky pink, cream or off-white. Don’t crowd it with other faces, and skip busy patterned wallpaper directly behind it. As a canvas, the brushwork reads softly and hangs frameless.
