Overall, I'm glad I got this in canvas vs. a framed glicee or lithograph.  It suits my purposes in our family/living room for now and if I tire of it, it will be easy to replace.  It is true that the middle water casts a purplish tint, giving a medium to dark periwinkle color.  The water above where the boat is is a blue green, much more representative of water, so it balances out.
