This painting is discounted because it had a few minor blemishes in the background. These were air brushed out, but a lot of over spray got on the white silk border (this is not shown in the image above - in real life, the white silk has a bunch of green paint on it). If you frame this with proper matting, this will look perfect once it's finished. So it's a real bargain if you're willing to overlook this issue that nobody will see once it's matted and framed.
