3 ft. x 2 ft. x 2 inches (sides) acrylic airbrushed body. The "heart" of the pepper is brush painted in acrylic. The textural differences between the two methods creates a dimension not available to me with the use of just a brush. I love the "fall into" feeling when i look at it. The sides are 2 inches deep all around so there is no need for a frame although you could add one if you like. It is wired and ready to hang as is. The sides are painted black.
