double exposed

i know, i know..i used these same little tree's a few months ago on the kitchen table. i thought that after the holiday's i would have to move them outside, but they are thriving, so i moved them to the living room.
so, the idea to share is the canvas turned around (painting facing the wall) so the back, raw canvas acts as a frame for any object you put in front of it. i love this idea! the trees have the perfect back drop to give them full impact. simple, clean and a nice little break from one of my favorite portraits.
i can't wait to turn this around in a month or so, i hope it is like seeing the painting for the very first time.

What kind of plant is that? They look great. And the pots are amazing.

Ah, nevermind. I see from your other post on these that they are in fact boxwoods. :)
