The painting was created with a variety of mediums including ink, watercolor, and oil sticks. This is a bright and colorful statement piece that will bring joy to any room. Memories of a childhood adventure came to mind during my painting process. The painting has 1.5" gallery wrapped sides, so framing is not necessary. The sides are painted in a shade of ultramarine blue from the painting. It arrives wired and ready to hang. My signature is on the lower front right and the painting arrives with a certificate of authenticity.
