Two Cranes in Gold Cloud Canvas Print

Rooms go quieter when near-black is this sure of itself. The dark background does the heavy lifting here, and the two pale cranes lift straight up through it. Hang it and a flat wall suddenly has depth the room reads calmer and a bit more considered, especially after dark when lamplight catches the gold cloud. It works above a bed, at the end of a hallway, or on a narrow strip of wall between windows. Pair it with dark wood, linen, stoneware and one quiet plant. Don’t crowd it with busy pattern or bright primary colours; they fight the gold and flatten the depth. One strong piece, plenty of wall around it. As canvas the dark ground looks deep and soft, with no reflection to fight.
