Colour was built up with multiple layers of acrylic paint and then i applied pastels in the forefront. It would add amazing colour to your room. This is a gallery wrapped canvas, the painting continues around the entire frame, and the staples are on the back. No need for framing, simply unpack and hang. Stretched on a 1 1/2 inch frame, for a nice comtemporary feel! International buyers please convo me for a shipping quote. Signed and dated on the back of the canvas Sold on Oct 29, 2008
