American Crossbill by Audubon Art Print

American Crossbill by Audubon Art PrintBefore anyone mentions natural history illustration, notice what the soft sage green does to linen. The cream paper and warm red breast sit gently against pale walls and wood furniture, and the room calms down a notch. Hang it at eye level above a writing desk, a chest of drawers or a narrow console in a hallway. It also works in a country kitchen or a study lined with books. Pair it with linen lampshades, brass switches, ceramic jugs and old wood.

soft greige

calm hallways and bright family corners pick up the warmth and feel a touch more holiday

or over a console in a quieter living room — somewhere people pause long enough to read it

A room with pale wood

This one has it — flat blue leaves butting up against soft pink fronds and a calm cream ground

and it likes a clean room around it

Like a burst of confetti

and the eye is given somewhere honest to land

finished with a deep-blue PADUA title at the foot

It pairs well with linen bedding

and the off-white sky gives your eye somewhere to rest

and the small 'DAN' sign gives it personality without being a novelty piece
