Fairytale towns · Giclee canvas prints
Little storybook towns on canvas
Thirty-one storybook scenes: crooked rooftops stacked up a hillside, riverside villages under drifting cloud, lantern-lit lanes, harbours and the odd cottage floating somewhere it shouldn't. Warm ochres, soft blues and deep greens, painterly rather than literal. Each one is made to order in the size and finish you choose, and delivered free Australia-wide in 10 to 14 days.

Why storybook scenes
Storybook towns are detail-dense, so the size you choose decides whether they read
Most disappointment with illustrative scenes comes down to one thing: the print was bought too small for the wall it went on.
These scenes are dense. A single canvas might hold forty windows, a bridge, three fishing boats and a flock of birds the size of a full stop. At 40 by 60 centimetres, seen from across a lounge room, all of that collapses into pleasant texture and you lose the reason you liked it in the first place. Buy them larger than feels necessary, or hang them where people walk within a metre.
For a sofa wall, go 100 centimetres wide or more and centre the artwork about 145 centimetres off the floor. Pairs and threes work if the horizon lines roughly agree; mismatched perspectives look restless. The palettes here are warm and slightly faded, so they sit well with oak, rattan and off-white walls, and poorly against cool grey or patterned wallpaper, which competes for the same attention.
