This is a good one, Kate ... I usually don't care for such things, but you've managed to make a nice imitation and homage to the American school of tromp painters, like Hartnett and Peto.
Thank you~ unintentionally for sure, never heard of tromp painters, actually - learn so much from you, dear. Now I'll go google it. I felt this girl did need a little legacy as do all our ancestors. Thank you for keeping up with me!
As a painting style, trompe l'oeil has a history extending back as far as 400 B.C. and was part of the rich culture of the Greek and Roman Empires, where horses are said to have neighed at a mural of horses they recognized. The only ancient trompe l'oeil murals that survive today are those unearthed at Pompeii in Italy.
kind of like out of bounds composites, which I particularly like.
