I WISH I COULD PAINT LIKE THIS


The incredibly lifelike scene is actually huge works of art, painted on the side of a perfectly intact building. Even that woman peering into the ruin above is not real. The painting, which has fooled many, was created by John Pugh, who specializes in trompe l'oeil - or 'trick of the eye' - art. He uses his skills to delude the viewer into seeing 3D scenes painted on flat surfaces. The Californian-born artist said: 'It seems almost universal that people take delight in being visually tricked.'
