Original artwork description:

The intricate overlapping patterns of reflections and the shadows from the boats intrigued me and inspired me to plunge, metaphorically speaking, into chromatic studies of water and its rippling, reflective surfaces. Reflections of boats seem to dance on the water that eddies, shimmy, and shimmer with loose, expressive brushstrokes ranging in hue from teal to purple.

This painting is framed in a 3 1/2"-wide floater frame with a black rubbed finish with a warm reddish umber undertone. A floater frame gives an art the illusion of floating inside the picture frame without touching it, which creates an interesting visual detail and a sense of three-dimensional depth in the overall display. It allows you to see the sides of the canvas, which is valuable for a small 6"x6" painting.
