The Poet — Spaniel Portrait Art Print

The Poet — Spaniel Portrait Art PrintWith this dog portrait, scale decides whether the study wakes up. Go small and it becomes a witty little moment by the bookcase. Go large and the dog watches the room like a Romantic poet at the window. The white ruffled shirt and dark coat sit against a dusk sky of deep purple, soft pink and inky blue, with a quiet river behind. It works best on a chalky off white, deep green or navy wall, hung at eye level above a writing desk, console or armchair.

a pale oak dresser or a small breakfast table

and lifts a wall that has gone too quiet

and walls in warm cream or chalky off-white

this disco ball belonged to another kind of home — basement bars

walls feeling taller than they did

It works with oak shelving

The colour carries across the room

console or chest of drawers in a hallway

It works best on a wall that gets close attention — a study

cream bouclé and matte stoneware

linen sofas and rust or indigo cushions

so it sits beautifully on a chalky pale wall in a kitchen
