APW Painting & Renovating - More Trompe l'Oeil

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^)

    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 thought it was a real painter painting the billboard ... I - like many other viewers - were fooled. ;) Very nice!
