Cubist Muse in Warm Neutrals Canvas Print

Cubist Muse in Warm Neutrals Canvas PrintWe like portraits best when they come with a little abrasion. The face here is broken into flat blocks of cream, warm brown and soft beige, with a single dark eye and one inky navy shadow holding the whole thing together.

It works above a sideboard, in a study, or at the end of a hallway where you catch it on the way past.

Painted cabinetry in off-white

beside a popcorn machine

dusty pink or soft blue

calm blue-green from across the room

The mustard grass and warm brown stripes glow

Hang it where you start and end the day: above a chest of drawers
