Where it works
Bairei's two white egrets wading among tall green iris leaves with purple, blue and white flowers above, with a distant marsh, inside an ornate dark border. The purple-and-white scheme suits a bathroom or hallway on lilac or sage walls at 16×24 in natural wood, paired with his Crane and Morning Glory.
