Appalachian Autumn is a limited edition of 100 archival prints by Dayna Walton. With a 1/2” border for framing, the print measures 8” high by 8” wide. The archival prints were created by Tiny Showcase and ship with a certificate of authenticity. The artwork has been printed on a heavy 290gsm natural white paper.
The original piece is watercolor on cotton rag.
Also available hand-framed in maple with archival mat and glass by Vermont's Joel Taplin of Taplin MFG. Framed artwork is archivally matted and hung with UV-protective glass. The hand-made frames are made from locally-milled wood with inlaid splines in each corner for added strength. Please allow three weeks for the completion of your custom, hand-made frame.
Also available with custom-cut, museum matting for standard size frames. Please allow an extra 3 business days for processing.

Dayna has chosen Discover Life in America as this week’s charity. $200 from the sale of Danya’s artwork will be donated.
“Discover Life in America is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Our goal is to learn all we can about the estimated 60,000-80,000 species of life in the National Park, and share that information with scientists and the public.
Our flagship project is the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI). A joint effort with the National Park Service, the ATBI is a concentrated effort to identify and record every single species within Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is the first effort of its kind, and organizations all across the US and Europe are following our example.
Discover Life in America funds and organizes the ATBI, bringing some of the world’s top researchers into the Smokies. We also try to engage the public with educational programs and volunteer “citizen-science” opportunities. Check out our upcoming events to see what fun events are coming up next, or look at our volunteer page to find ways to help our staff and scientists.”
