Sea Bass by Sherman F. Denton Canvas Print

Because Sherman F. Denton knew restraint, the dark green hits harder here. One fish, one cream ground, nothing else competing. Put it up and a room stops feeling decorated and starts feeling collected the sort of wall that suggests someone reads, fishes, or both. It suits a study wall above a desk, a narrow hallway where you pass it slowly, or a kitchen wall near a dresser. Keep the furnishings quiet and textural: dark wood, leather, linen, grey stoneware, iron or pewter details. Skip anything glossy or brightly coloured beside it a loud print or a shiny frame will flatten the fine scale work and the pale background it needs. As a canvas, the edges soften and it reads more like a painted study.
