From the doorway, the vertical reads clean. Up close, not polite. A young beagle in a soft green flat cap grips a golf club, drawn in careful ink with warm watercolour washes over a cream ground. It brings a small dose of humour to a room without tipping into novelty. Hang it in a study, hallway or kids' room, above a low sideboard or a reading chair. Sits well with warm oak, tan leather, cream linen and a check throw. Skip it in rooms already crowded with sporting memorabilia or busy pattern — the drawing wants a quiet cream or soft green wall to do its work.
