What was I thinking? I have been looking for a piece of art online and didn't want to spend too much because well, I'm buying art online. But this one was on sale and it looked so pretty in the pictures. Was sorely disappointed when I opened it. The colors are muted and the piece does not jump out at you or stand out in any way. I thought it would have had a little brightness to it having regard to the subject matter but even the blue was dull and uninspiring. I definitely would not have bought this if I had seem it in a store.
