Painterly Poppies is inspired by….uhm….poppies, you guessed it. Most of all the magnificence of their unruly curling stems. Brought to you in a very loose oil-painterly style.
Each image can be framed any which way up, giving you lots of options to play with: growing up for a more traditional style, upside down or sideways wonderful when paired with abstract or typography prints!
This mustard version features 4 stems with a pale pink poppy in full bloom atop a sumptuous abstract pack ground of velvety mustards, others, yellows and greens.
Mustard yellow, warm ochre, dusty rose pink, soft cream, and deep olive green – these are the colours that make up this print’s sun-saturated palette, and they do a great deal of the decorating work for you. Walls painted in a warm terracotta or a deep burnt amber sit in tonal harmony with the ochre ground, making the pink poppies glow even more richly against them. For a lighter room, a soft warm cream or an aged parchment white picks up the creamy bud tones and keeps things airy without draining the print of warmth. If you want contrast, the deep olive stems suggest that a muted sage or moss green wall – cool enough to push back against the warmth – will make the whole composition lift. Avoid cool greys or blue-toned whites; their undertones fight the print’s warmth rather than carry it. In terms of style, this print feels genuinely at home in bohemian, maximalist, earthy organic-modern, and Art Nouveau-leaning interiors – anywhere that prizes expressive mark-making and the beauty of a slightly wild, curling stem. A kitchen or garden room is a natural fit, as is a wide bedroom wall where the loose, dreamy mood translates well into a restful atmosphere. This print belongs to the Painterly Poppies collection, inspired by the magnificence of poppies’ unruly curling stems and rendered in a very loose oil-painterly style; it pairs naturally with other prints from the collection to build a layered, botanical gallery wall. It would make a considered gift for someone doing up a first home or a new kitchen.
The print is produced with archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag®, a museum-grade cotton paper with a subtle felt texture; its matte, glare-free surface works equally well behind a slim black or natural oak frame and behind an ornate gilded one, since there is no sheen to manage. At A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) it earns its place propped on a shelf or tucked into a gallery wall arrangement; at A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) it holds its own as a single piece above a bedside table or desk. The A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) makes a confident statement above a console or sideboard, while the A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) suits a generous wall in a kitchen or living room where the sinuous stems can be appreciated at full stretch. At A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm), the scale is genuinely room-anchoring – the loose brushwork and warm palette filling a space the way a large oil painting would. This artwork is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas print, ready to hang with no frame needed.
