Sunset Poolside in Cairo Art Print

Sunset Poolside in Cairo Art PrintWhat it adds isn't clutter. It's vertical tension in the right places. A warm, painted scene of a Cairo courtyard at sunset, with the pyramids in the distance and a pool full of people just below. On the wall it does the work of a small open window. The room picks up the warm orange and sandstone, the deep purple sky settles things down, and the turquoise pool keeps everything from going too sleepy. Quiet rooms suddenly feel lived in. It sits well

Cream and terracotta soft furnishings settle it in nicely

Works best on a chalky off-white or soft cream wall

between two narrow windows

It does the work of a window when there isn't one

painterly colour edge to edge

the pink and warm cream keep it friendly

a holiday postcard in winter

but the black does the talking

linen and warm white walls — anything with a bit of texture rather than gloss

Skip the cool
