Spring Bouquet by Suzanne Valadon Art Print parisian style chrome handles

and the dark green stems stop it tipping into sweet

It does best on a bright wall above a sideboard

Spring Bouquet by Suzanne Valadon Art Print parisian style chrome handlesMost still life prints behave. This one picks a side.

The dark chair anchors pale walls; the muted flowers stop the piece feeling sweet. Pair with warm woods,
