The Scholarly Blackbird Canvas Print

The Scholarly Blackbird Canvas PrintThink of it as old master portraiture with less reverence and better instincts. A blackbird with reading glasses, a blue scarf and a serious green book painted like a 17th century gentleman who happens to be a bird. Put it up and the room gets quieter and a bit more characterful. Bookshelves look more lived in. Empty corners suddenly feel like they have an opinion. It belongs in a study, a snug, a hallway lined with books, or the bit of the living

The canvas softens the edges slightly and feels right above a child's bed

or in a dining nook where people linger over food and wine

the vertical grid will do the editing

the downstairs loo

Hang it up and watch your space feel instantly more dynamic

Avoid putting it next to cool grey abstracts or sharp black-and-white photography — the soft warmth needs space to breathe

On canvas the brushwork reads warmer and a touch softer

instantly energizes any room with its bold

Don't bury it next to heavy dark florals or busy patterned wallpaper

The mustard shopfronts and deep red brick lift everything from textiles to timber

drawing the eye up and giving a busy kitchen or bar corner a single

this is the thing that pulls people in
