Lisbon Tram on Yellow Street Canvas Print

Lisbon Tram on Yellow Street Canvas PrintBefore anyone mentions the loose sketchy brushwork, notice what the bright yellow does to plain plaster walls. A quiet hallway picks up a holiday warm glow the moment this goes on the wall. The blue and yellow tram pulls your eye in first, then the green shutters and the bit of blue sky finish the job. Rooms feel a bit sunnier, a bit more lived in. Works well in a hallway, a galley kitchen, or above a small console near the front door. Portrait shape

the painterly brushwork keeps it warm rather than touristy

woven baskets and ceramics in cream

red and navy ranunculus thrown against a flat mustard yellow

Second glance: three cats stacked up

or a living room that leans traditional
