Where it works
A flying fish by Bloch, a silver-green fish with huge wing-like pectoral fins in dark blue and red-tinged lower fins, side-on on aged cream. Odd and graphic, it suits a bathroom, coastal hallway or child's room on white or navy walls at 24×16 in natural wood, with his Flying Gurnard.

Framing. A slim black or natural wood frame right to the plate edge; the plate's own margin frames the subject.
