This is an amazing piece of artwork. So many scenes to observe and disect. The only negative is that there are a few spots where the stark white canvas shows through the scene. I am thinking about just dabbing it with some stain to hide them. My husband said he wanted a pirate map and when he saw this it exceeded his expectations. He likes the sea monsters that are portrayed. Overall I really love this as the center piece of my living room above the couch.
