The owner of this work traveled interstate to my Melbourne studio to view this work before deciding to purchase it. It is a very pleasant experience to meet the prospective owner and talk about the work and art in general. I love seeing photos of where the work is planned to be placed and offer advise. The work was sold by artduo in Sydney. This is the second large painting that has been purchased by this owner. If you have an idea for art in your home or office please contact me. I have a lot of experience in correct placement and hanging and can arrange shipping.
