Three Horses by Leo Gestel Canvas Print

Three Horses by Leo Gestel Canvas PrintWhen the study feels over arranged, this kind of loose ink sketch helps. Three horses, drawn quickly and confidently, sit on warm off white paper with all the wobble and pause of the original brush. It pulls a busy room back to something quieter. The black lines do the work; the rest of the wall can stay calm. Good for a room that's already full of pattern, books or pottery, where you want one strong, simple thing to look at. Hang it at eye level

Hang it and the room loosens up — suddenly the kettle corner has a sense of humour

It puts a piece of southern Italy into a room that's otherwise too tidy — colour

Don't crowd it with other busy illustrations — give it a quiet wall and let the autumn tones do the work

An oak frame keeps the garden-room feel

Layered cream

Choose an oak or warm brown frame to echo the vase

the subject light enough to make people smile on the way to the kettle

It sits well with timber furniture

Walls that felt a bit flat suddenly have somewhere for the eye to land

and the stone steps give the whole thing somewhere to land
