Trompe-l'œil ...


...seen in Martinsburg, WV. And it's a pretty darn good one I'd say.
UPDATE: See the comments for info about the artist.

  1. It has a Norman Rockwell look to it. Do you know the artist's name?

  2. No I don't know the artist. I looked at the signature but I didn't recognize it and now I can't remember. I should have photographed the signature up close. I could probably find some info by Goggling.

    This guy is considered the gold standard by many: Graham Rust His books are very good.
