Wood Duck by John James Audubon Canvas Print

Wood Duck by John James Audubon Canvas PrintBuy a wood duck study for the story. Keep it for the deep green. This Audubon plate brings the careful patience of an old naturalist's library into a modern home feathers picked out in deep blue, chestnut and cream, sycamore leaves curling around the birds. It gives a quiet room a little gravitas and a little life at the same time. Hang it at eye level above a writing desk, a low console or a reading chair, where the detail rewards a closer look. Pair

the wide horizon reads clean

and pattern stacked on pattern in pink and deep blue

Hang it on a chalky off-white wall and the room reads sharper

a little more designed

It likes head height and a bit of breathing room around it

Brass or matt-black fittings both work

sunshine and a bit of holiday in your peripheral vision

the small village pulls the eye up

It quiets a busy room without going beige-on-beige

a console or a sideboard in the dining room

stoneware lamps and aged brass fittings

It is silly
