How To Beat the January Blues with Colourful Animal Wall Art

dog painting, dog portrait, animal wall art


January can sometimes feel like it is never going to end -  the Christmas festivities are over  and the dark, dreary days seem to drag on forever. But don’t worry - I’ve got the perfect antidote to those dark winter days - it’s an instant pick-me-up solution that doesn’t involve a plane ticket to the tropics. Say hello to colourful animal wall art! 


Adding vibrant, personality-filled pieces of wall art to your space can turn those grey days into joyful moments. Here are three stunning prints that’ll bring a smile to your face (and brighten those walls).


Cyril the Squirrel – A Burst of Energy 


Meet Cyril, the cheeky squirrel. This framed wall art canvas perfectly captures his mischievous nature as he darts around Milk Wood with a large supply of nuts, and pauses just long enough to strike a pose. Cyril the squirrel’s rich, earthy tones and splashes of vibrant colours are sure to brighten up your walls on a dark winter’s day.

Riley the Golden Retriever – Soulful Energy in Art 


Is there any better mood booster than a playful pooch? Riley the Golden Retriever isn’t your average pet portrait, this framed wall art canvas feels like a warm wag of a tail, painted with radiant splashes of golds and yellows. Riley’s love of life (and socks!) is so infectious, making him the perfect piece of wall art for your living room or home office.

Rocky the Cockatoo – The Party You’ve Been Waiting For

 
If your January needs more beat-dropping, mood-lifting vibes, meet Rocky the Cockatoo. This feathered DJ lives for the music and has mastered an energetic dance move or two. This unique piece of animal art, with splashes of vibrant yellows and whites that pop against bold blacks, turns any living space into a party waiting to happen.

Why Animal Wall Art Brightens Your Mood 


Art doesn’t just fill up blank walls, it speaks directly to your soul. Here’s how animal artwork can perk you up during the gloomiest of winter days:


Colour Therapy: Bright, vibrant colours can naturally trigger happy emotions and can help combat the winter blues. 
Nature at Home: Artistic representations of animals connect us back to the joy that is found naturally in wildlife, even when we are stuck inside. 
Unique Conversations: A statement wall art piece like Cyril, Riley, or Rocky is more than décor, it’s a glimpse of your personality, sparking conversations and connection.
