The Faithful Springer Canvas Print

Before anyone mentions watercolour, notice what the warm brown does to oak. The whites in the print lift the timber, and the dark patches give it weight, so the wall stops feeling flat. Hang it in a hallway or boot room and the whole corridor reads a little softer less corridor, more part of the house. It sits at eye-level above a console or low bench, where people pause to drop keys. Pair with linen, tweed, aged leather, brass hooks and a wool runner in oatmeal or check. Keep busy gallery walls away from it; this one wants a bit of breathing room. On canvas the brushwork reads warmer and a touch softer, with a quiet matte finish.
