When I received my painting, the woman looked nothing like the one that Overstock shows. I know each painting can vary slightly, but this was completely different! The woman had open eyes, a different nose, different (blonde) hair, and different clothes! The only thing that looked the same were the cranes. My painting was also chipped. I was not expecting the woman to look like a totally different person than the one Overstock shows. I will have to return this.
