Trompe l'Oeil

Creating the illusion of seeing reality; "the visual deception of trompe-l'oeil art" ..bet you thought this was a real block scene?! Nope, it is the side of a red brick building...everything is painted on. We found this scene in French Lick, Indiana and to me it was the most interesting thing there. I'd always heard of French Lick, especially in High School, where the Martha's of the school went for spring break or something. I expected a really posh town but found a pretty run down main street with a huge resort complex, a train station museaum and not many people. I love this art. We saw another nifty example in Winslow, AZ at "Standin on the Corner" Park.
