La Place Arago, Toulouse by Raoul Dufy Art Print

La Place Arago, Toulouse by Raoul Dufy Art PrintToo much beige. Not enough blue green. This fixes that. A loose Dufy watercolour of a Toulouse square palms, park benches, pale buildings and small figures in soft blue and green. It warms up a quiet wall without shouting. The cream ground keeps the room calm; the blue green leaves do the lifting. Suddenly the sofa, the lamp and the rug all look more considered. Hang it at eye level above a sideboard, a low sofa or a hallway console. Landscape format

Put it up and the kitchen stops being just a kitchen

A deep blue line drawing of Paris

Don't try to balance it with a second statement piece on the same wall

red mouth wide open — this one carries a whole wall on its own

Brass or aged iron fittings tie the warm and cool tones together

the bit of the dining room that always feels flat

it does what a good piece of figurative work should: it lifts the mood without shouting

Hang it where people actually look: above a console in the entryway

a play table

this one wants room around it

Tower Bridge

Soft furniture looks more considered
