Sun Hat and Summer Things Art Print

Sun Hat and Summer Things Art PrintOpen the curtains at mid morning; the mustard yellow will handle the drama. A straw hat, a beach bag, an oil bottle and a few wildflowers, drawn loose and clean on a warm cream ground. The room calms down around it. Walls feel a touch softer, the morning feels a touch slower, and the kitchen suddenly looks like it has a point of view. Best above a small console in a hallway, between cupboards in a kitchen, or on the wall facing the breakfast table.

in a creative office
