Christian Nursery Wall Art
Gentle faith art for a baby's room — a lamb in meadow light, a dove mid-flight, blossom after a storm.
What's in this collection
Five pieces chosen for a room a child will grow up in. A lamb resting in meadow light. A dove mid-flight. Blossom opening after a storm. All of them wordless, all of them soft-edged, none of them cartoonish.
The thing about nursery art is that it has to survive the nursery. A piece with a nursery rhyme on it is embarrassing by age six; a painting of a lamb in morning light is still a painting of a lamb in morning light when the crib becomes a desk.
Where these work
Above a crib is the obvious place, and the safest size there is 16x20 in — big enough to hold the wall, small enough not to loom. Hang it high enough that nothing can be reached from inside the crib.
They also work over a changing table, a glider in the corner, or along the wall of a hallway leading to the room. Peace Like a Dove and Spirit and Peace Dove pair naturally if you want two.
Sizes
12x16 in — beside a door, over a changing table, or as one of a pair.
16x20 in — the usual choice above a crib.
24x36 in — for a larger nursery or a shared kids' room with a full wall to fill.
As a gift
A baptism, a christening, a baby shower, a dedication. This is the collection people buy for someone else most often — soft enough that it doesn't impose a style on the parents, meaningful enough that it isn't just another blanket.
What arrives
A gallery-wrapped canvas on a wooden stretcher frame, 1.25 in deep, with the image continuing around the sides and a sawtooth hanger already fitted. Nothing to assemble, and no frame to buy. Free U.S. shipping on every order, and 30 days to send it back.
