I was commissioned to paint two 36x48 panels in a fall landscape theme. I made them so they can be put side by side either way. The job took approximately 130 hours of study, creating and painting. It is acrylic on canvas, with two panels 2" deep each and they are painted around the sides so they won't need frames and can be hung in separate rooms or across from each other, or put together as pictured. Look for the hearts :) Enjoy!
