Watermelon by the Sea Canvas Print

Yes, Henri Matisse knew how to charm a room and how to cut. A juicy slice of watermelon sits on bright white sand against a blue sea and sky, painted with loose, confident brushwork. Hang it in a kitchen, a sunny breakfast nook or a hallway that needs a lift, and the whole space feels a few degrees warmer and a lot more cheerful. It plays nicely with pale wood, rattan, white-painted cabinets and blue and white ceramics. Skip it if your room is committed to moody, dark walls or formal traditional decor the brightness will fight that mood. The canvas gives the painterly brushwork a soft, hand-finished feel.
