I just finished buying art for my new apartment, and this piece is by far my favorite.
The painting is textured, and the gold really shines.
As far as the price, because this piece is so well made and has textural elements I don't mind paying the cost. Truthfully I think the seller could have hiked up the price. Good art is never cheap, so if you ask me, this is a bargain.
I haven't had many visitors as I'm sure no one else has either, so I haven't gotten to show it off, but I imagine it will be an eye catcher! (:

The colors are fresh and sparkling and will enhance your decor. Much more vibrant than appears online. I was seeking a subdued piece to hang in my bedroom and this is absolutely stunning. I’ve added this with my seafoam blue and beige with a touch of gray and white. This ties my look in perfectly.
