Description This is a painting…. Not my picture, this is a real picture!!! I’m talking about the building walls... It’s a trompe l’oeil... Only a few windows, upper-centre part, the lady with the pink shirt and the street pavement are real, all the other elements are some trompe l'oeil painting...

I’ve chosen my 10 mm wide angle, in spite of the vertical distortion, just to help you to see and appreciate almost the whole art work...
Of course there are many different very interesting ways and perspectives in that trompe l’oeil, this a just frontal view...
Full view is recommended...

Shot today in my village, square crop and frame with Paint Shop Pro...

It's an incredible painting then! Reminds me of a children's pop-up book.

richard-parker [2006-01-03 10:20:49 +0000 UTC]

That's incredible. The distortion looks unreal, and the photographic elements add a wonderful splash of pseudo-reality to an otherwise out-of-this world painting.

This is soo good.. but im just confused.. is it a painting.. or a photograph? i can see its a painting then when i look at it more, its like its a photograph.. but it isn't at the same time!! it seems so real... yet it doesn't seem real at all. i love it all the same

Michel-Lag-Chavarria In reply to 0-Riano-0 [2005-10-13 06:37:01 +0000 UTC]

This is a photography of a wall enterely painted... Most of the walls and windows here are painted, just some, 2 or 3, are real... I've waited for the girl to walk to make it real...

Fantastique! You've done a good job here, but the person who actually painted the walls did a great one.

ganooov [2005-09-12 11:06:18 +0000 UTC]

I like wall paintings.
here in Jerusalem there are some of them - which is a little wierd, cuz the most of the city were built in the same stone, we call it "terusalem stone" (look here: [link] in the right - this is the stone ).

but - this is really amazing painting. much more than what we've got here.. (u may see my POV here - [link] )

I can gaze at it for quite some time.. it's amazingly painted.. You shot it perfectly..
The stairs, are they real?..

Michel-Lag-Chavarria In reply to misterbean2000 [2005-09-09 20:50:24 +0000 UTC]

Hehe... No, the stair belongs to the painting, not real at all...!!! In fact everything is "false" except the 3 windows in the middle-up on the grey wall (the white one and the 2 brown ones) and the very small one on the right just under the roof... The black open window on the blue wall (up) is real too...

Thank you for appreciating...
