Patchwork Textile Study in Teal and Pink Canvas Print

Patchwork Textile Study in Teal and Pink Canvas PrintWhat it adds isn't clutter. It's loose, hand painted tension in the right places. Stripes, dots and zigzags sit side by side in teal, soft pink, mustard and cream, with a painted tassel edge along the top that nods to woven textiles. Hung up, a flat wall stops being a flat wall. Colour, texture and a bit of personality turn up without the room getting busy. Best above a low sofa, a kid's bed, a console in a hallway, or as a happy break on a kitchen

Don't surround it with other strong colours or busy patterns — the figure needs space to be the loud thing in a calm room
