Brown Pelican by Audubon Art Print

Brown Pelican by Audubon Art PrintCall it thoughtful if you want; we call it better walls. Audubon's Brown Pelican brings a quiet, library like calm to a room without going sombre the cream background keeps everything light while the soft greys and warm brown head give the wall something to hold onto. Hang it in a study, hallway or coastal leaning bedroom where you want a bit of natural history without a full museum mood. It sits beautifully above a writing desk, console or low

Don't crowd it with busy patterns or another large landscape

a small dining nook

or a long console — anywhere people sit and talk

Don't smother it with another busy pattern on the same wall — the canvas has enough texture and weight to lead alone

rush seating

or in a hallway that opens onto a darker room

the soft yellow and warm sand stay clean and chalky

or above a kids' bed where the words can be read aloud

red and navy ranunculus thrown against a flat mustard yellow

The canvas finish softens the brush marks and gives the scene a relaxed

Add a few green stoneware mugs or a wooden chopping board and the look ties together quickly

Unlike most abstract art
