And now for something completely different ....


SOLD
OK! I lied ;-)
This is another 'trompe l'oeil' (fool the eye) done on a 8 x 8 inch three quarter inch thick 'Blick Studio' panel (these panels have a textured surface but I sanded it smooth). Yes, it is just a flat surface ;-)
It works a lot better in real life as I just can't get the photo to convey the real impression of depth. Does anyone have a really expensive Nikon digital SLR they don't need anymore? ;-)

    That's amazing! your subjects just jump right out of the canvas. This painting is so vibrant and riveting.

    Love it! When these are exhibited, how many people try to put their hand through the picture?

    Unfortunately, it never got exhibited ..... I was lucky to sell it hot off the easel ;-)

    This is a superb painting and I would love to have seen it up close. Your paintings of lemons never bore me ;)

    Try a Lumix ;)

    it's a beautiful painting and i think you have photographed it beautifully. you really don't need a more expensive Nikon, you seem to be doing perfectly well with the one you have. anyway who has ever heard of anyone having a really expensive Nikon digital SLR that they no longer need???
