About the Artwork

An open book lies flat near the bottom of the canvas, its cream pages fanned and its spine edged in deep teal. Out of the gutter rise four soft stripes in burnt orange, dusty pink, mustard and aqua, bending upward in a slow S curve like the story is drifting off the page. There are no words anywhere, just the book and its ribbons of color.

Scott Harmon painted this open book painting in a mid-century style, with flat, even fills and thin pale outlines around each stripe. You can see the brush texture in the warm sand background and the faint woven grain beneath it, which gives this 70s retro wall art the easy feel of an old paperback cover.

It makes a thoughtful gift for the book lover wall art fan in your life, a teacher building out classroom library decor, or anyone who likes orange and pink wall art with a gentle, nostalgic palette. It reads as bookish wall decor without spelling anything out.

Hang this canvas wall art above a reading chair as reading corner decor, beside the shelves as home library decor, or in a hallway that needs a little warmth. The cream ground sits comfortably with wood tones, rattan and earthy textiles.

My one rule: brush marks stay visible, so nothing looks printed. Twelve years of painting signs for diners and motels proved a few clean shapes can carry an idea. In a carport I closed in behind our house in Tucson, desert ranch houses, cactus forms and atomic starbursts take shape. Most wear dusty olive and soft mustard.

It looks amazing! The material creates the look of natural texture, even without raised detail.
