Rose on the Half Bottle


12 x 9 inches oil on linen panel - SOLD

This is another trompe l'oeil (fool the eye) that I did to fit in this particular frame but rather than do it on hardboard I did it on Belgian linen to see if I could get the same effect (it doesn't work quite so well in the photo becasue of the glare and shadow from the light) ....... and yes, I did drink the wine first ;-) I must do more with wine bottles, it's a good incentive.

    Hi Paul!
    This is my favorite tromp l'oeil of yours, even with the 'bad' photo :) It's fantastic!
    Best regards,

    Drink the wine first, and than paint? Paul, you are onto something. Will check if your way works for me.

    Your work is unbelievable!!! Such realism...something I strive to attain in my work but have not come even close to what you've done here. Gives me the incentive for this new year.
