I love this painting but it wasn't in the color on my monitor. I know that color is not always dependable but it was described as being turquoise, which is what I wanted. When it arrived the background was a pale blue not even close to the color I wanted. As a liked it so much I carefully changed the background by using a damp scrap of cloth and turquoise paint and now it looks exactly as pictured! I am an artist so I had some idea of what I was doing!
