Tropical Beach Scene by Peter Wong

A framed artwork, likely a watercolor painting or print, depicting a tropical beach scene with palm trees, a gentle surf, and a partly cloudy sky. The piece is signed 'Peter Wong' and dated approximately to the 1980s. It is presented with double matting, the inner mat being off-white or light cream and the outer mat a dark teal or forest green, all housed in a gold or brass-tone metal frame.

This appears to be a watercolor painting or a print of a watercolor by Peter Wong, dating from the 1980s. The subject matter, a serene tropical beach scene with palm trees and ocean, is characteristic of popular decorative art from that period. Peter Wong is a listed artist, but the value of his works can vary significantly depending on the medium (original vs. print), size, condition, provenance, and current market demand. Watercolors by Peter Wong depicting similar tropical scenes from this era typically sell in the lower to mid-hundreds. If this is a print, the value would be considerably lower, likely in the decorative art range. The framing, with its brass-finish metal and dark green matting, is typical of the 1980s and may or may not add to the value depending on the buyer's preference. Assuming this is an original watercolor in good condition, the appraisal value is estimated based on auction records and gallery prices for similar works by the artist.
