Artwork Description

Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the back.

This colourful, feminine, sexy and seeming uplifting painting has a hidden darker meaning which is alluded to in the title. "Great Expectations" refers to the high expectations of women to look like the models in fashion magazines; as evidenced by the tiny mountain climbers who climbing up the back.
The background pattern of the paintings extends and wraps around the sides of the canvas. The artist signature is on the back, along with wire so it's ready to hang.

“What a fabulous way to make art accessible to everyone. Communication with the artists was exemplary at every point, delivery super quick and we now have some great pieces I can’t imagine ever tiring of looking at. ”

“Bluethumb is a great service. It offers paintings in a great range of styles, sizes and prices. I enjoy looking at what is on offer, or has been on offer, and I've made a couple of purchases so far, and lusted over paintings that had sold before I knew of Bluethumb. The pieces I've purchased have arrived very well packed, and have been posted promptly. The photographs on the Bluethumb site are a true representation of the pieces available. I doubt that I will ever buy another painting by any other method. ”

“I've just taken delivery of eight works from artists all over the east coast. All arrived safely, and very carefully packed. They look even better than they appeared on screen. They range in size from 1.2 metres to 200 mm. Wonderfully well priced. Thank you fro such a terrific site.”

“Down to the Beach by Sally Chandler I love the painting, it fits into our home perfectly. It came framed which was great because I was expecting to have to get it framed. It took a little while to arrive, but I believe this was due to the artist being in the middle of re-locating. Bluethumb service and communication was very good. ”
