The Scholar Dachshund Canvas Print

The Scholar Dachshund Canvas PrintBy late afternoon, the portrait stops looking decorative and starts working. The warm lamplight in the painting picks up the real lamps in the room, and the dachshund in his glasses and gown becomes the quiet anchor of the space. It brings a bit of humour to a serious looking room without tipping into novelty. Hang it above a writing desk, in a book lined hallway, or in a small study where it can be seen up close. It sits well with walnut wood,

the deep purple looks almost illegally fresh

plain upholstery and one or two quieter pieces nearby

the gold edge does the festive bit for you

this one wants breathing room and natural light around it

rattan or carved wood

Hang it where you want a lift — above a low sofa

The palette is gentle: cream

One white tulip

painted finish that suits the hand-drawn style

The pheasant sits square in the middle of its winter undergrowth

A kitchen suddenly has a sense of humour

or deep black — so the colour and pattern can do the shouting
