Wood Duck by John James Audubon Art Print

Wood Duck by John James Audubon Art PrintBuy a wood duck study for the story. Keep it for the deep green. This Audubon plate brings the careful patience of an old naturalist's library into a modern home feathers picked out in deep blue, chestnut and cream, sycamore leaves curling around the birds. It gives a quiet room a little gravitas and a little life at the same time. Hang it at eye level above a writing desk, a low console or a reading chair, where the detail rewards a closer look. Pair

Don't crowd it with busy patterned wallpaper or competing bold prints — this one wants a little breathing room

the riso press knew how to charm a room — and how to cut

Unlike most botanical art

and it gives an already layered room a clear focal point

at eye level on a calm wall so the shapes can do the work

sideboard or low bookshelf where the vertical composition has room to breathe

Stretched over a wooden frame with finished edges

First glance: warm orange and teal green

and the cream background keeps it from feeling busy

and the cream gives your eye somewhere to rest

This snowy village scene gives a child's bedroom or hallway its own little weather system through December

painterly abstract that reads as a floral without ever drawing one literally
