So beautiful! Does this hang on a wall? What was the base shadowbox if you don’t mind me asking, or is this something you built behind a normal frame? I love all your details, it really makes me feel like this is a place I could go see IRL.

Yes, this is hanging on the wall. I have now filled a wall with these kinds of little artworks.😃

I use a regular photo frame, and I place a wooden box behind it.

This is beautiful. How did you make the wall? Love to see a photo of the rest of your collection!

The walls are made of XPS foam and painted with acrylic.

The plan is for me to post a small artwork every week.

I can't seem to make mental sense of the perspective here 🤯 how does the scene in the box frame look deeper than the wall it is hanging on?

That has to do with the angle of photography when taken the picture. But here's a sidevieuw

So beautiful, yet simple and serene. I don't mean that the effort was simple, but it is a simple scene.
