I really didn't know if I'd like this picture or not because it kind of looked like it was VERY modern art, which if that's what you like that would be fine, but I'm not thrilled with it. I bought this picture because it was the right size, which was hard to find, the right colors to go with my bathroom colors already up and the right venue since it's kind of beachy. When it arrived and I unwrapped it I thought at first I'd been sent the wrong picture because the picture I received looks nothing like the picture online except the coloring is the same. It is very beachy, the water looks like actual waves crashing on the shoreline, not like the picture online that looks like it's just blue brush strokes. I was really concerned my husband wouldn't like it, but he thinks it's beautiful also. So, this is a win/win for us. I'm thrilled I bought it. Thanks for having this picture in your collection.
