Is it Real? Or is it an Illusion? You Tell Me!

 'Trompe L'oeil' (trick-of-the-eye) by artist John Pugh.

Today I received an email from an old friend. He is fascinate with interesting stuff that people make and do. Is this painting real or illusion? If I lived in the Bay Area still I would drive by and check it out.

So, an artist named John Pugh paints the side of buildings, but not just with a paint sprayer. He makes it real life. Can you tell? It is called 'Trompe L'oeil' (trick-of-the-eye) by artist John Pugh.

 Honolulu , Hawaii . This mural took two months of studio work to plan and another six months to execute with the help of 11 other artists. Featured are Queen Liliuokalani, the last monarch of the Hawaiian Islands , and Duke Kahanamoku, the ultimate father of surfing.

 This mural at the Cafe Trompe L'oeil, San Jose , California , is entitled "Art Imitating Life Imitating Art Imitating Life".  This customer doesn't leave at closing time (she's part of the painting - hard to believe).

 

'Bay in a Bottle', Santa Cruz , California . The passer-by is part of the mural.
