Fauvist Dinner Table Still Life Canvas Print

Fauvist Dinner Table Still Life Canvas Print'Too safe,' said nobody standing in front of soft pink. This is a loose Fauvist still life of a laid dinner table red chair, green wine bottles, bread, pasta and tomatoes painted with the kind of brush that doesn't second guess itself. Hang it where you already eat, drink and talk loudly. Kitchens, dining rooms and breakfast nooks come to life around it, especially under warm evening light. It pairs well with painted timber, linen, stoneware and a bit

or in a kitchen-diner that needs a lift

the sky is a smudge of lilac and grey

Pink and mustard yellow lift a plain wall

It works above a bench

pale wood and a few terracotta pots and the whole corner feels like a holiday

the soft olive leaves — it's one of those subjects that warms a wall without shouting

Looks especially sharp framed in oak or black on fine-art paper

a touch more lived-in

affectionate focal point without tipping into novelty

It also earns its keep in a downstairs cloakroom where it gives guests something to read

A small lamp nearby in the evening is all it needs

Stretched on a deep wooden frame so the painted surface reads softly across the room
