That is a real signal and it is worth knowing you are sending it. It says the person who lives here likes plants, tolerates imperfection, and did not buy the picture to prove a point. It also says, faintly, that this is not a room for arguing in. The work is soft-edged and pale by nature: stems, seed heads, single leaves and loose flower studies with the paper showing through and pigment pooling at the edge of a wash. That paper white does a great deal of the work, which means the piece needs a wall that is not itself brilliant white, or the image loses its boundary and drifts. Warm off-white, pale clay, soft green and light oak panelling all give it an edge to sit against. Strong colour behind it is a mistake for the same reason. A pale wash cannot hold its own against a saturated ground, and the picture ends up looking like a swatch pinned up for approval. It goes naturally in bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and hallways, the rooms people pass through or wind down in. In a room built around a television it simply disappears, and no amount of extra size will fix that, because the problem is contrast rather than scale. Before you hang it, look at the wall in the middle of the afternoon. Pale washes are the first thing direct sun flattens visually, and a wall taking two hours of hard light a day will bleach the image out in exactly the window when you most want to look at it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.photo4sure.com\/collections\/amy-peterson-wall-art.oembed","provider":"photo4sure","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
