Blue Tennis Player on Pink Canvas Print

Blue Tennis Player on Pink Canvas PrintBefore anyone mentions folk illustration, notice what the soft pink does to plaster. The wall warms up, the room loosens, and a flat space suddenly has a personality. The tennis player blue limbs, red zig zag trim, mid serve brings a quiet sense of humour without shouting. Hang it in a kids' room above a low chest of drawers, in a teen's bedroom, or on a games room wall where it can lead the mood. It works on a pale wall or a warm cream one, and sits

not robins and snow

Brass or chrome both work — it isn't fussy

Van Gogh's irises do the heavy lifting

so the colour blocks have room to breathe

or at the end of a hallway where you want a small lift on the way past

The room gets a shot of humour and a clear point of view without losing its grown-up bones

making it a perfect accent for your kitchen or dining nook

and small dining corners

It's a holiday in a frame — pastel houses

This one prefers to be the thing you notice

peach and sky-blue mood to a room that needs a little holiday in it

the bedroom suddenly has a pulse
