Vibrant Lillies Canvas

Printed on canvas, the lilies read as paint rather than as a reproduction. The thick gouache strokes sit on a woven surface that holds them, so the white, cream and pale turquoise in the petals keep their separate directions and the red stamens stay as sharp as flecks of enamel. The deep green behind is scraped and brushed in several tones and gains depth from the weave. Stretched over a wooden frame, it arrives ready to hang with no glass between you and the brushwork. A float frame adds a shadow gap around the edge.

Deep green and warm white suit a room with wood, wool and plants rather than painted surfaces, and the canvas carries a living room wall on its own. The red stamens pick up terracotta and rust in cushions or ceramics. An oak float frame adds a shadow gap and a softer edge; left plain the canvas reads as a stretched painting. Hang it large rather than small.
