This broken piece of walnut got a new life! You'll see a slightly visible crack towards the right side, it's been glued together and now it's as stronger than ever, but with it's unique shape there was only one thing to do with it--paint!
The trees were painted in at least 5 layers each with various shades of green, giving it a beautiful depth, but the snow-capped branches are the literal highlight of the piece. Snow falls heavily from the top and a little sliver of a silver moon glimmers above the treetops.
It's not too Christmasy, but it can be used as part of your classy (not cheesy) Christmas decor, or hang it up year-round if serene wooded art is your theme! Hooks on the back allow you to hang it instead of propping it up.
The dimensions are roughly:
H: 21 inches
W: 11 inches at the bottom and 7.5 inches at the top
D: .75 inch
