February 7 Trompe l'oeil Scene





I rather liked the color scheme of yesterday's painting. I used the same colors today on a much larger winter scene. This is an out of the ordinary shape which called for a painted frame since it would be difficult to find one to fit. I've done trompe l'oeil on walls in homes around the area; including mine. It's a fun wall treatment but since this one is on hardboard, it's portable. The detail shows a segment of the "frame."

Approximately 27" at the widest by 30" at the peak. $380
