Wow, if this last one was a shocker this one had me right over. I can't understand how he gets that depth. It takes my breath away.

I believe the style of painting is called "Trompe l'oeil" (pronounced "trump loy"). It is a French term meaning "deceive the eye." The painting style creates an illusion and tricks the eye to see a life-like image on a wall rather than a reproduction.

This link will give you a good overview of the style- http://www.flatmagic.com/index.html

Hi Romulus:  :)

Another great find.  Wonderful ;).

I wonder if this gentleman "Eric" would work for his meals?   The old girl won't give me any money :P.  ::)

Again thanks for posting those shots.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
