Wild FlowersAffiche encadrée

Wild Flowers belongs to the mid century years, when artists cut a scene down to flat areas of colour and clean outlines. Small blooms sit close together, each petal a single shape with a firm edge, and the stems weave between them. The colours stay calm and even.

Set the framed poster on a hallway wall where daylight comes in from the side. A light frame on a darker paint keeps the pale petals clear, and a wood frame suits a wooden hall table.

In a bedroom it works on the wall beside the wardrobe. You see the pattern of blooms first, then the thin stems between them.
