Mural Painted Building

If you wonder yourself how come I've posted Mural optical illusion two days in a row, the answer is more than simple. Yesterday's post inspired me to refurbish Murals category, and to give it new shine. I have collected all the mural posts from this site's archive, and arranged them to show little icon and description inside the previously mentioned category. Feel free to jump inside "Trompe L'Oeil" Murals section (French for "Fool the Eye"), and you'll quickly understand what am I babbling here. Related to this announcement, I have added interesting black and white/color photo I found lying on my hard drive. The photo below was manipulated to look black and white, so that the mural jumps out, which helps spotting it more easily. I adore this kind of art, and wish there were similarly painted surfaces back here where I live. Still nothing here, but I'll keep you informed if some artist shares my idea and starts painting buildings and sidewalks :)

Tree Mural - Artistic Illusion

I understand that the line that separates Murals (Trompe L'Oeil) and 3D Chalk Drawings is very thin, but horizontal/vertical rule is something that guides me on my quest, when deciding which category posts like this one belong to. More specifically, if the realistic drawing is painted on the flat horizontal surface, I usually go with 3D Sidewalk Drawings. If the painted surface (that hides optical illusion) is vertical, and makes you believe what you are seeing is more than a painting, I usually categorize that post under Murals. Well, the rule doesn't apply every time, but it helps to know that Murals are usually the ones painted on sides of the buildings. So, now you probably learned that being in command behind this website isn't very sophisticated and intellectual work after all! Now enjoy this awesome Mural below! Illusions with trees are always fun! Especially this one.
