Moths around a lamp above a sage bookshelf canvas wall decor

A bare bulb in a black pendant shade hangs high on a plain grey canvas, and dozens of moths spin in the cone of white light it throws onto a crowded bookshelf below.

The shelf is drawn in quick, inky lines over muted sage and grey: stacked and leaning books, pencil pots, a bottle, a small white bust and, on the bottom row, an old boombox with two round speakers. Red is saved for candles on top and the odd spine, so it flickers through the green. The upper half is almost empty, and that long drop of bare grey makes the light seem to fall.

CA#241 is an original colorful still life painting showing illustrated bookshelf under a hanging lamp with moths swarming the light, hand-painted in acrylic on canvas. It is painted to order in any size; the 11 standard sizes run from 18×36 in (46×91 cm) to 50×100 in (127×254 cm). Painting takes about 10 days and delivery 5–7 days by DHL, FedEx or UPS; the minimum order is one piece.

At roughly 1:2 it suits the slender walls that defeat wider canvases: a pier between two windows, the strip beside a doorway, the end wall of a library corridor or a column in a café-bar. Hung near a real pendant or wall light, the painted lamp becomes a quiet visual joke. Its sage and charcoal suit green-painted joinery, cane and worn oak, and because the image is graphic rather than painterly it reads clearly even in dim, moody lighting.

Specified for workspace & office, home office, restaurant & bar and corridor & circulation; it reads as moody and cozy & warm.

These share its palette, format and surface, so the three hang as a set: a run along a hotel corridor, a pair either side of a bed with this one between, or one per suite on the same floor.
