Warm Maroon Wall Art

Warm Maroon — 5 museum-grade prints in this palette. DESIGN BRIEF: the brief was to remember the forest hunt, not stage a kill, so the centre gives the deer their leap — slender bodies mid-stride, branching antlers — with the bowmen's bent bows trained after them across the band and small trees standing between, the tension held rather than resolved. We kept the deer distinct and well-spaced against the breathing warm-maroon ground, holding the fill to medium with a bold open fish-net frame rather than a merged mesh, so animals and archers never melt together. DESIGN BRIEF: the brief was to draw grove-worship as the busy heart of a working village, not a hushed empty shrine, so the sacred trees and the small standing goddess-stone hold the upper-middle and the worshippers ring them in concentric circles, offering-pots set out before each row. The hard part was the crowd: we kept the rings open and the figures well-spaced against the breathing warm-maroon ground, holding the fill to medium with a bold open fish-net frame rather than a merged mesh, so the gathering reads clearly and the daily-life bands below — grinding, the water-lift, cattle, foragers, the ploughman — never melt into it. DESIGN BRIEF: the brief was to hold the Guar sacrifice as a measured rite, not a violent instant, so the buffalo is led calmly by rope at the centre of its band with a tall tasselled memorial post rising beside it and mourners approaching from both sides carrying rice-pots and a drum. We held the fill to medium and kept the fish-net frame bold and open rather than a merged mesh, with clear warm-maroon space between the rows so the buffalo reads as a distinct heavy shape and the kin and the hamlet below never crowd into it.
