Fewkes Brown Artwork, Set of 3

This artwork bridges the gap between natural and modern aesthetics. The organic tree subject matter and earthy brown tones provide the "rustic" warmth, while the sleek black frames and vertical orientation offer the clean lines required for contemporary spaces. To create a cohesive look, our stylists recommend pairing this set with furniture that features natural wood textures or matte black metal accents.

Vertical artwork is a powerful tool for directing the eye upward, making it an excellent choice for rooms with high or vaulted ceilings. This set of three is particularly effective in entryways or long hallways where wall space is narrow but tall. The vertical orientation adds "height" to the room, creating an airy and elevated feel in transitional spaces.

To maintain the clarity of the presentation, our care experts suggest dusting the frames weekly with a clean, dry, soft cloth. If the glass requires cleaning, apply a small amount of mild soap and water or a non-ammonia glass cleaner to a cloth first, rather than spraying it directly onto the glass. This prevents liquid from seeping behind the frame edges and damaging the deckled paper art.

Watercolor paintings rendered on paper are delicate and susceptible to dust and environmental moisture. These pieces are encased in a black shadow box frame under glass, which provides a protective barrier while creating a sophisticated sense of depth. This construction not only preserves the deckled edges of the paper but also prevents the artwork from warping or gathering dust over time.

While these paintings are protected under glass, watercolor on paper is naturally sensitive to extreme humidity. In coastal environments, we recommend hanging this set in climate-controlled rooms rather than screened porches or bathrooms to prevent any moisture from affecting the paper's tension. Additionally, because watercolors can be sensitive to light, placing them on a wall that receives indirect sunlight will help preserve the rich black and brown pigments for years to come.

Each piece in this collection measures 24"W x 36"H. When hung as a set with a standard 3-inch gap between each frame, the total width spans approximately 78 inches. This substantial scale makes the set a perfect anchor for large furniture, such as an 80-to-90-inch sofa or a king-sized headboard, following the professional design principle that art should cover roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of the furniture's width.
