Least Stormy Petrel by Audubon Canvas Print

Least Stormy Petrel by Audubon Canvas PrintOn a low winter afternoon, the soft blue green of this Audubon plate looks almost illegally fresh. Two stormy petrels skim the water, wings angled, and the room around it slows down by a degree or two. It softens a sharp modern room and warms up a quiet one without taking over. Hang it above a writing desk, console or low sideboard at eye level, where its landscape shape can stretch out. Pair with oak or walnut timber, linen upholstery, brass fittings

the soft pink and orange will handle the drama

it reads as a proper kitchen print rather than a poster

Works beautifully framed in oak for a softer edge

It reads as art rather than decoration

slightly low is better if it sits above a counter

the tiny skiers and the wide sweep of snow give a quiet wall a real focal point without shouting

On canvas the lines soften slightly

terracotta pots and the odd bit of brass

It works with cream linen

Avoid hanging it next to heavy

This is the kind of botanical poster that gives a quiet room a pulse

finished edge that suits the painterly mood
