Pastel Brownstones on a New York Street Canvas Print

Pastel Brownstones on a New York Street Canvas PrintBefore anyone mentions the painterly illustration style, notice what the soft pink does to plaster and pale timber. The sky tone lifts cream and oat walls and warms up a cool room. The street pulls the eye down the page coral, mustard and pink fronts, dark awnings, a stray yellow cab. It brings a bit of life to a quiet wall without shouting. It works above a sideboard in the living room, on a hallway wall by the front door, or in a bright kitchen

quiet walls — this one wants to lead

The matte canvas surface keeps the black shapes flat and graphic

Keep other patterns quiet — let this one do the talking

The off-white background blends into a calm wall

Best in a room that already gets good daylight — it doubles down on whatever sun you've got

saturated brights

even at 9am on a Tuesday

dark ridge — sits against a warm red ground that pulls the eye straight across the wall

effortlessly capturing the spirit of yesteryear

The mustard stripes are scuffed

where it has room to breathe

The yellows pull the eye
