Not because it's chalky cobalt, but because it refuses to fade back. A sky made entirely of small painted marks holds the room in a quiet, drifting way. Hang it where the evenings get long — above a bed, behind a reading chair, on the wall opposite a window so late light catches the yellow flecks. Pair it with linen bedding, an oak nightstand, an aged brass lamp, and a stoneware vessel in oat or slate. Don't crowd it with another busy pattern; this piece needs one calm neighbour and a clear stretch of wall. Stretched on a deep wooden frame so the dotted sky reads as a soft, painterly surface from across the room.
