Art Historian's Take
Kathleen Parr McKenna — "Life on the Farm Sign I v2". This work, while appearing as a contemporary decorative piece, engages with a rich tradition of American folk art and rural signage. The artist employs a direct, unadorned approach to lettering, a hallmark of vernacular design that prioritizes legibility and immediate communication over aesthetic flourish. The composition is built on a foundation of asymmetrical balance, with the bold, black script of 'FARM Fresh!' commanding the center, while the two clusters of raspberries—one in the upper left and another in the lower right—serve as visual counterpoints that ground the piece in a specific, organic subject. The color palette, dominated by a warm, off-white background and a single, saturated accent of red, is a deliberate choice that creates a striking contrast, drawing the eye to the central message. This use of a limited, earthy palette with a single vibrant hue is characteristic of the 'Modern Farmhouse' aesthetic, which romanticizes the simplicity and authenticity of rural life. The visual structure, with its ample negative space and clear focal point, reflects a modernist sensibility that values clarity and directness. McKenna's work, in its celebration of agricultural abundance and its use of simple, direct forms, can be seen as a contemporary echo of early 20th-century American folk art and the 'New Deal' era's promotion of rural identity, transforming a functional sign into a piece of decorative art that speaks to a broader cultural narrative of simplicity and connection to the land.

Great quality prints

I took a chance and ordered and I’m glad I did. The prints arrived quickly and were well packaged, no damage. The colors and quality of paper look better than expected. I’m very satisfied and would order again. Thank you for great customer service.

Love the artwork

The colors are great for our room. We needed something with the dark teal color. Love the artwork. The artwork however was almost ruined. The delivery person put it out on front stoop in the pouring rain. I would suggest that Decorus put the tube into sealed plastic before inserting into the shipping box.

Hi Deborah,

Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it—and I’m glad to hear the artwork and colors worked well for your space.

I’m sorry to hear about the delivery experience, that’s always frustrating when carriers leave packages exposed like that.

Since your order and your feedback, we took a big look at how we were packaging prints and ran with your feedback. Since the end of last year we all prints are now rolled and placed inside a protective plastic sleeve before going into the tube, which is then placed in the box, which helps prevent issues like moisture exposure during transit.

We appreciate you calling that out, it’s exactly the kind of feedback that helps us improve.

Cheers,
Shane

High-converting pages remove uncertainty before it becomes a support ticket.

How will my print arrive?

Your print arrives unframed and unstretched, rolled in a protective tube. No frame, no stretcher bars, no mounting -- just the printed material. You choose how to finish it.

Does this come framed or stretched?

No. Every print ships unframed and unstretched, rolled in a tube. This is the print only -- you take it to a local frame shop, stretch it yourself, or have your designer install it however you like.

Does your canvas prints come with a bleed for stretching?

Yes, by default all Canvas Prints come standard with a 3" mirrored bleed.

Do you produce this yourselves?

Yes. Every print is produced in-house at our studio in Sarasota, Florida.

What is the difference between materials?

Poster is smooth and cost-efficient, fine art is the most elevated paper choice with rich detail, and canvas adds textural softness and painterly depth. All three ship unframed and unstretched.

Do you do custom sizes?

Yes, we do custom sizes. Please send your part number and the custom size and substrate you are looking to have printed and we can quote you the price or build you a draft order. Please send inquiries to info@decorus.art

There is no charge for the same ratio in a size not listed.
