A couple of years ago I went to "The Faux School" in Frederick, MD. to work on some of my faux techniques. I was there for a week and learned a lot and came home with a bunch of sample boards to put into my portfolio.
One of the most exciting part of the class was a trip to the "Community Bridge" it was painted by Trompe L'oeil artist William Cochran who also is a instructor at the school. It was so amazing to see the work and actually the talent so incredible it was hard to distinguish that these were actually murals.
I was reminded of my trip by Jen over at Sanctuary Arts at Home, she wrote about the bridge a couple of days ago and I promised her I would post some photos of my trip. Thanks for the reminder Jen.
I think the pictures will speak for themselves *click on picture to enlarge*
