Description
Blue Traces – an artist’s diary on canvas
A white-cream impasto page scattered with blue and grey pencil-fine scribbles, dashes and hatch clusters – a leaf from an artist’s diary: a long blue horizontal line runs near the top, and beneath its left end scribbles tangle.
Technique & Texture
A blue fan, like a palm leaf, is at the lower left of centre, a solid blue bar lies to the left with tiny ruler-tick marks beneath it, and a dark hatch triangle is at the left middle. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – a dark fly-like knot sits right of centre, and soft blue washes drift down the right column.
The Motif
Loose scribbles run along the bottom edge with two hatch squares in the lower right corner, and the ground is a cream impasto in soft dabs with a warmer beige breath left of centre. An artist’s diary, where the sketched lines read like the notes of a day, translated into the airiness of colour.
Styling & Placement
A gentle painting on canvas for bedrooms, living rooms and offices; the blue traces draw the eye, the cream ground calms the room. Wall art for quiet, creative spaces.

Blue Traces: an upright canvas for quiet corners
Blue Traces is painted in 15 portrait sizes, from 40 x 55 to 200 x 279 cm. Let the upright page of blue scribbles cover about two thirds of the wall or furniture width beside it: 70 x 97 cm next to a dining table, 60 x 83 cm above an armchair, 50 x 69 cm on a narrow hallway wall, and 100 x 139 cm in a stairwell.
The first photograph shows Blue Traces on a white wall beside a dining table with dark chairs and a white pendant lamp, and the second photograph shows the canvas above a white bouclé armchair next to a black floor lamp. Choose YES in the Stretcher menu and the cream page with its blue lines arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is optional for Blue Traces, since the Frame menu begins at Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days. Blue Traces is hand-painted, cream impasto in soft dabs and fine blue strokes, so it is not a print.
