I needed something for an upstairs guest bathroom (it's done in ivory and amethyst).  I got this and another Monet water lily painting.  As with all impressionistic paintings, it looks better the further away you are.  So this looks beautiful on line, but up close, it just looks kind of messy.  (Sorry, Claude!)  If you are going to hang this where it will be viewed at a distance, it is very nice and a great value for the price.  I'm sure it would look even better framed.
