RE: The Old Dog Asks: Did One Artist Really Beautify an Entire Town?
Great post and very very interesting for me, not because my mother's tongue is French, but simply because of the nature of the art itself. What a treat to find such a village. Over the course of the years, I have travelled quite a bit all over North America and have came across such villages where the artists or one main artist created a real transformation of the place and thus rendering the location much more alive and vibrant.
I was surprised to see translation for the expression to "Trompe-l'oil", instead of "Trompe l'Oeil". The very old term "Oil" is one of the two source of the French language itself where "oeil" is the French word for "eye".
In relation to my favourite artists, I have to raise my hat way up there for @jankasparec who's paintings are hitting home every single time. Worth the trip to check out the art work he's been sharing with us since the beginning of his time with us. Not only is the painting itself poignant, but his stories accompanying the paintings are shooting straight from the heart. I simply LOVE it! I hope you equally enjoy.
Again, thanks for the sharing of this beautiful discovery. Have a great weekend, keep your smile and namaste :)
Hey @eric-Boucher thanks so much for your interesting points. I will check @jankasparec as the name is new to me!
Many blessings to you!
