capturing the cool

The fiery reds and dusky blues work handsomely against soft grey or warm white walls dressed with light timber and a few simple ceramics

It sits beautifully on the wall of a child's bedroom beside the cot

or let it stand alone in a hallway where its simplicity can breathe

Eagle Painting Monet capturing the coolHere a golden eagle is caught mid flight, wings flung wide as it banks low over an alpine valley. The painterly brushwork gives texture to the outstretched feathers, the pale undersides of the wings flashing against barred brown primaries as the bird tilts its head downward in search of prey. Below and behind, snow dusted peaks rise into a breezy sky scattered with soft white cloud, while a band of dark pine forest and bare rock fills the lower scene.
