Unimpressed Frog at the Open Window Art Print

Unimpressed Frog at the Open Window Art PrintFirst glance: pink, coral and blue. Second glance: the frog doing something smarter. It reads as a riff on Matisse's open window view of the harbour, until you notice the small, deeply unimpressed cartoon frog sitting bang in the middle, ignoring the boats entirely. Put it up and the room loosens. Warm coral, sky blue, deep green and pops of pink do most of the heavy lifting; the frog adds the joke. A quiet room with neutral walls suddenly has a point

and a flat neutral sofa suddenly has somewhere to look

or the corner of a living room that needs warming up

with 'Lucid Dreams' set heavy underneath

The woven texture deepens the wool and corduroy

With a single inky shape and a face like a tired uncle

Cream walls let the yellow sing

a bright bathroom

bedrooms and reading corners suit it best — anywhere you want a steady focal point rather than a loud one

Hang it solo on a narrow wall

Don't crowd it with other figurative work or competing blocks of blue

with bold blocks of blue

What changes in the room: a tired wall starts feeling like a holiday memory
