Barcelona Steps in Soft Colour Canvas Print double-decker brass and stoneware in cream

brass and stoneware in cream or oat

and everything around it quiets down

and the small Giardini Borghese address line adds a quiet sense of place

a small console or at the end of a quiet hallway

There's a reason abstract painters kept returning to soft horizon abstracts

Barcelona Steps in Soft Colour Canvas Print double-decker brass and stoneware in creamBecause the artist knew restraint, the soft pink hits harder here. The room reads warmer the moment it goes up sunnier, more lived in, a bit more Mediterranean without trying. Best on a wall you walk past often: above a console in the entryway, beside a sofa, or at the turn of a staircase where the long vertical pulls the eye down the steps. Sits well with linen, oak, cream plaster and warm terracotta. Avoid hanging it next to other busy travel scenes
