Snug as two jugs .....


8 x 8 inches oil on panel - SOLD


Right ..... I also had problems with this one with a certain blogger (yes, you know who you are Rahina ... OOPS!) who wasn't sure what exactly was painted so I guess I need to explain that everything here is painted except the black background which is just the board I hung it on for the photo.
I posted the side view so that you can see the depth of the panel. It also surprised me that the illusion of 3D worked from the side too .... shiver me timbers (am I too late to get the Pirate talk in?).
Still life next time while I work on the other 'trompe' paintings.

  7. Paul!

    If people can't figure out where the painting starts and ends, you can be DAMN SURE it is very realistic looking!

    Can't think of a better compliment myself!
