Tapestry of Secrets is a painting that took me on a voyage of discovery. I was surprised by one of the mysterious hidden layers of paint that I don't recall ever putting down. Created over several days with acrylic paints, the painting is sealed with satin varnish. The 1.5 in. gallery wrapped sides look great unframed and are painted in a shade of crimson. The painting is not framed and is currently wired to hang horizontally (but can be easily adjusted). Because this painting looks great in so many positions, I have signed the painting on the side and back rather than the front. Tapestry of Secrets arrives with a certificate of authenticity.
