It looks like APW Painting & Renovating is no more to be found at this address but they left behind an excellent bit of trompe l'oeil. Nice attention to detail can be seen in the upper arm in the blowup below. To fit with the indent in the wall surface the artist has constructed a small plywood upper arm to span the gap. This painting is by Milroy Wonderworks.

Another superb mural from Victoria. Yet another reason to love Canada. 8^)
That had me fooled, for a minute I thought he was really painting!
Thanks for becoming a follower of my blog...I'm honored!
re yesterday's photo: that would be me if I tried to bike in your fair city, as I would keep banging into these too-real-looking paintings.
I'm a sucker for trompe l'oiel. It's too bad they went belly up they clearly had class.
I love tromp l'oeil and this is a fabulous example of a wonderful art form! Very, very cool!
Wow, really well done. I had to take a second look.
I thought it was a real painter painting the billboard ... I - like many other viewers - were fooled. ;) Very nice!
