The arches are architectural niches, about 2" deep. The decorative metalwork and shadows are all painted.

Acrylic and latex paint, approx. 4' high and 22" wide.

Those are beautiful. They really look like real metal pieces. You're very good with the 3D stuff eh?

Thanks, Arlene and Busy91. Busy, I don't know about being good at it, but it's fun and not hard to do. It's just a matter of getting the highlights and shadows to be believable, and the magic happens!

Hey, don't attribute too much to magic; some of it's got to be you! Very nice, indeed, Ruth...
