Description
EA Doum Palm is a duo-tone fine art print drawn from a still-life composition—a pen-and-ink study of Hyphaene compressa, one of the few palm species whose trunk forks and branches rather than rising in a single column.
The drawing captures that rarity: a dense canopy of feathered fronds unfolding from each forked tip, with the hand that made it still present in every crosshatched shadow.
The hero colourway is drawn directly from the tree. Doum Terracotta echoes the deep orange-red of the palm’s compressed fruit pods at peak ripeness—like fired clay in afternoon sun. Savannah Teal carries the dusty blue-green of the Kenyan bush at distance: the haze over the Rift Valley floor, a coastal creek at dusk. Warm earth, cool horizon—a tension that feels entirely of this landscape.
An alternative palette, Iron and Chalk, offers a cooler, more pared-back interpretation for neutral interiors.
Designed for repeat and surface application, the pattern translates seamlessly across fabric, wallpaper, soft furnishings, and interior textiles. It sits naturally alongside linen, raw cotton, and woven neutrals.
Drawn from still life at my father’s farm in Kitale, Kenya.
