'Almost Spring' is painted in acrylics on a 6 inch by 12 inch stretched canvas. Sides have been painted but there are staples on the sides so frame may be needed. Painting has been glazed with a high gloss medium for permanent protection and to enhance the colors of the painting. Photos taken before glazing to eliminate reflective glare from camera flash. The colors of this painting may vary from monitor to monitor. I try to capture the true colors of the painting as much as I possibly can however, the painting may be darker or lighter than pictured on your monitor due to different settings.
