This is the second "hand-painted" picture we have purchased from Great Offer Stock. The first was Van Gogh's Poppies in a Vase or something - and I really can't say enough good things about it. I have never seen the original "in person" but what we got is a beautiful painting and we love it. This one - not so much...... It's very dark. There is VERY little of the white of the house to be seen and the blue part of the house looks like a 2 year-old scrawled a circle on the painting with a blue crayon. The tree leaves over the entire top half of the painting are less Impressionism and more dark, dark mess. My husband was very disappointed. But I convinced him that if he painted the brown part of the frame white, it would lighten up the picture. And that worked somewhat. But what will help more is a bright light shining at it and we haven't worked that out yet. So THEN I read a review of a different painting that said they were very disappointed and so they EXCHANGED it for another try at the same painting and the second one was much better. So that's what we should have done, and will do if it happens on another order. It honestly had not occurred to me but it makes sense that each one would be different because they are HAND-painted. So, with that caveat, I would still recommend this product to a friend.
I have purchased 20 oil reproductions. A few have been great, a couple have been bad, and most have been very close to what I expected. I base my expectations on both the picture displayed as well as a picture of the print which can be viewed at any one of a variety of websites. Keep in mind that the print is the exact duplicate of the original and that these paintings are subject to a persons artistic license. in this case that artistic license has been well placed. the frame was spectacular for this canvas. The workmanship was excellent and the artistic license, if any was take, was fine. I would not rate this a being the top first or second out of the 20 I have but it would make the top 5. Nice use of color but the detail onboard the boat could have been a little clearer. Other than that, an excellent rendition of the original.
