In this artwork colours appear very blue, while there is more deep blue, purple and deep green or turquoise throughout the painting. The edges are dark in order to frame the artwork and to match the colour scheme, but the painting is unframed and it's good to go on the wall as it is, wired and ready to hang. the colours and textures look beautiful in real life, very moody and calming, adding to the mystery of this landscape. the painting can be reversed and hang upside down and still remain as landscape, however suits the owner, please see additional pictures as examples. thank you for looking.
