Description
Field – five yellow heads in a grey world
Wall art drains the whole landscape to grey — clouded sky, grass, the white house behind — and gives colour to nothing except five yellow flowers standing right in front of the viewer: decorative painting that lives off one single cut of colour. The heads are on thin stems and none of them is the same height.
Technique and texture
The sky is painted in wide swept passes of grey and white that darken toward the top. The grass is worked in short horizontal strokes that give the impression of wind moving through it. The flowers are the opposite: dense and relieved, in clean yellow with brown centres, so they stand out of the grey by touch as well as by colour.
The motif
The upper half is sky, with heavy dark clouds and lighter gaps opening between them. Below it the field rises slightly to the right. A white house with a dark roof stands there with two smaller outbuildings and low trees around it. The lowest of the five flowers sits right on the bottom edge.
Setting and placement
Because everything but the flowers is grey, nothing in the room can clash with it. The yellow gives the room one precisely measured note of colour and no more.

Field: five yellow flowers over a sofa, bed or table
Field is painted in 14 sizes, from 40 x 38 to 180 x 170 cm, on a landscape canvas only a little wider than it is tall. Let the grey country scene with its five yellow flowers take about two thirds of the furniture width: 130 x 125 cm over a 200 cm sofa, 110 x 105 or 120 x 115 cm above a bed 160–180 cm wide, and 120 x 115 cm over a 180 cm dining table. For a long hallway choose 90 x 85 cm, for a kitchen or office 70 x 65 cm.
Pick YES under Stretcher and the grey sky with its white house comes stretched on a wooden stretcher, so you can hang it at once. Field needs no frame, and the Frame menu offers Without frame first. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The swept sky and the raised yellow flowers are hand-painted, so this painting of Field is not a print.
Why do people choose the Field painting?
Field is for anyone who loves the countryside and quiet but does not care for colourful paintings. The whole landscape is grey, from the clouded sky to the grass and the white house behind, and only five yellow flowers right in front of the viewer carry colour. That is why Field goes with almost any furnishing, and the yellow gives the room exactly one warm note, which you can repeat in a cushion or a vase. It belongs in a living room, kitchen, dining room or office, above a sofa, a bed or a table.
How is the Field painting made?
Field is hand-painted by our painters. They lay the grey and white sky in broad sweeps first, darkening toward the top, then the grass in short horizontal strokes that seem to carry the wind. The house, the outbuildings and the trees go in behind, and last, in a thick raised layer, the yellow flowers with their brown centres. Because the flowers are applied by hand, you can feel them on the canvas, and every Field painting comes out a little different. Once Field is finished, a photograph of it comes to you first, and we ship after you approve.
Rolled, stretched or framed?
We ship Field the way you choose: rolled, stretched on a 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher, or framed. In our workshop in Slovenia we stretch and frame it. Stretched, it arrives ready to hang; rolled makes sense for the large sizes or when a framer near you will frame it. A thin grey, white or natural wood frame suits the country motif, and without a frame the grey landscape runs to the edges.
How should I hang and care for it?
Keep the centre of Field at eye level, about 150 cm from the floor; above a sofa or bed, the bottom edge sits 20 to 30 cm over the back or the headboard, and above a dining table 25 to 35 cm over the top. In a kitchen, hang it away from the cooker. Clean the raised flowers with a soft dry brush, without water or cleaners.
Is Field a good gift?
For someone who grew up in the countryside or loves wild flowers, Field is a personal gift; 50 x 47 and 60 x 60 cm fit a kitchen or an office. If the wall for Field is not decided yet, give a gift voucher.
