easels

at first glance, the daintiness of the scene strikes you; with the sun actually shining bright, the shadows seem real which give the scene a real depth of field. and then, you squint, doubting what your eyes see. it takes a while for you to realize it is a wall, a painting that was superbly done.

the shadows had me fooled. it is a long mural as there are five easels in the scene. i couldn't take a wide shot as there were only five feet between the painting and the edge of the sidewalk. there was also a scaffolding that prevented me from shooting a 'head-on' shot. shooting from behind the scaffolding is not possible, as i would've to stand on the roadway and it is a busy roadway.

still not feeling great. i'm hobbling because of the knee. sinus flared up anew, voice is getting better but i still sound like a bullfrog.

and oh, for the second morning in a row, i was attacked by a pair of red-winged blackbird, until they were chased by a really big blackbird.

An amazing mural! You are right--the shadows fool you.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Wow, I had to look good and up close. Fantastic art and great capture to show both ways.

[Wendy]

Oh, Vikki! So sorry to hear you are not well!
We have finally found a house.
I will be sending you a long email in a day or two to fill you in on the happenings in my life.

[Delwyn Barnett]

So cleverly done!

[Mary Siegle]

Wow! Impressive mural! So sorry you’re still dealing with knee, bronchitis, etc. Hope you’re better soon (Thursday, maybe?)

[Susan Wakely]

What a great mural. You are obviously a great host for your problems. It sounds like an eviction order is called for.

[Brigette]

very clever - I'm impressed with anyone who can see in and create 3D like that

The artwork is impressive to say the least and your photo presents it as if it were real!

I can sympathize with the knee problems. Mine has been bothering me for years And I have just learned to live with it because some days are better than others depending on what I do. I hope that bronchitis clears up quickly.

The execution of the mural is wonderful. A true trump d'oeil. Vickie, do you think your early morning walks could be escalating your sinus problems?

[Casablanca]

You are in the wars! Wishing you well and that the birds go and play with someone their own size! Interesting image you have here, looked at it and the shadows for a while

Intriguing…. I thought it was a dolls house.
Get better soon!

That's gorgeous! Took me a moment of seeing how "perfect" it was and wondering if it was a painted image...and then I looked to the edges. Kudos to the artist and to you for this beautiful capture!
