Sardines, Lemons & Stripes Art Print

Sardines, Lemons & Stripes Art PrintUnlike most still life art, this doesn't wait for approval. Five sardines, two whole lemons and a cut half sit over wide orange and deep blue stripes, with seaweed weaving through the middle. It's loud, but in a friendly way like a busy fish market on a sunny day. Hang it where you want the room to wake up: a kitchen wall, a small dining nook, or the bit of hallway nobody looks at. It does its best work on plain off white or pale stone walls, where

A flat hallway or study suddenly has somewhere for the eye to land

It hands the room one clear focal point and lets everything else settle around it

or in a home office that needs a sense of humour

Pair it with warm woods — oak

and a tired corner suddenly has a holiday in it

Its warm hues effortlessly complement a variety of decor

It reads as calm

and the water cuts through in dusty blue

ready to frame or hang as it comes

Sage green and dusty pink in the room pick up the colours in the picture

Don't crowd it with other busy florals or another high-contrast statement piece — this one wants to be the loudest thing on its wall
