Saltwick Bay, Whitby. Extract from the Whitby Lifeboat history: “Silver Medal awarded to Coxswain Robert Allen and the Bronze Medal awarded to Helmsman Richard Robinson for rescuing a survivor of the fishing vessel Admiral Van Tromp, which was wrecked after grounding on the Black Nab Rock in thick fog, an easterly wind, and a heavy breaking sea on 30 September 1976. When a survivor was seen on a rock Helmsman Robinson drove the D class lifeboat in at full speed, onto a ledge, and the man was grabbed just as a large sea broke over the rock and washed the boat back into the sea.”
Seen here at low tide, and at sunset. The tragic wreck of the Admiral Van Tromp is documented here in an extract from the Whitby Lifeboat website: “Silver Medal awarded to Coxswain Robert Allen and the Bronze Medal awarded to Helmsman Richard Robinson for rescuing a survivor of the fishing vessel Admiral Van Tromp, which was wrecked after grounding on the Black Nab Rock in thick fog, an easterly wind, and a heavy breaking sea on 30 September 1976.

Contrary to appearances, this “cutout” trompe l’oeil painting is completely two-dimensional, and is painted with both acrylic and oil on a 3/4 inch Finnish birch panel. Lighting allows actual cast shadows falling on the wall to match painted shadows. To see more images of paintings by Robert Tynes, please visit RobertTynes.com The original painting measures c. 60×60 inches in size.
a peculiar wooden castle near the dutch town of hilversum, built in 1672 by the dutch naval hero cornelis tromp. Built on the site of a medieval stronghold, destroyed by the french, this palace was built to resemble a ship. Indeed it seems to float on the water.
An homage to Marcel Duchamp, this trompe l’oeil painting is entirely two-dimensional and, contrary to appearances, does not contain any actual objects attached to its surface. This particular painting contains a copy of one of Marcel Duchamp’s works, Self-Portrait in Profile, from 1958. The silhouette of his face has been rotated, in this painting, to a reclining position to reference the death of Duchamp. These “cutout” trompe l’oeil paintings are painted with acrylic and oil on 3/4 inch birch panels. Lighting allows actual cast shadows falling on the wall to match up with the painted shadows. To see more images of paintings by Robert Tynes, please visit www.roberttynes.com on the web. This painting is approximately 25×27 inches in size.
Again, contrary to appearances, this photograph is an image of an entirely two-dimensional trompe l’oeil “cutout” birch panel painting. The title refers to a quote by an early Surrealist, Isidore Ducasse (a.k.a. Lautremont) who proclaimed something to be “Beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on a dissection table.” The original painting measures approximately 36×38 inches, and was created with both oils and acrylics on a “cutout” birch panel. Painted in 2005, the original painting is in the collection of the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art in Roswell, NM.
Just felt like being a bit creative today so used a photo of Catherine taken last week with a tromp l’oeil I photographed on the wall of the dining room of the Fairmont Hotel in Victoria, Canada. I then gave it a slight texture layer with a bit of a sepia toning

This is a collage of photos I took of the Trompe l’Oeil I was commissioned to paint at a man’s house in Gooseberry hill eariler this year. / At first he just wanted the vine growing over the door way but after a while excitment and ideas bloomed into a bigger plan as i was asked to paint a window with a sea view, then pots, then more plants, a sea shell, cracks… he was especially exstatic about the illusion of cracks here and there. it started when I decided one of the pots should be broken, then since he liked that effects I added a couple of suttle ones around the window, since rocks ebedded in another material dont last forever, it just seemed right. I took a few tips from a book by a Trompe l’Oeil artist in sydney. she has such an amazing house… i cant remember her name though. I’l remember in a minute, anyway, I flipped through her book as I painted looking for inspiration for giving the mural more impact. like adding shaddows to the pots, the cracks of course, and stencils for the leaves, over lapped, from dark green, to lighter and then the final ones with the moast detail. AH! found the artist! Peta Laurisen, author of the Internationally Acclaimed Book “Creating Grand Illusions” http://www.petalaurisen.com/peta.htm

Look closely at this little building and you see that virtually every detail on it is painted.

Like most of my work posted here this is a photograph of a two-dimensional painting. Contrary to all appearances, this is a flat trompe l’oeil painting. It is cut from a single sheet of 3/4 inch birch plywood and then painted to allow real shadows to fall on the wall which match up with the painted shadows. In addition to the branch, I decided to cut out the shape of a prominent blue brushstroke, allowing it to be perceived as floating and leaving the “canvas.” This particular painting is c. 34×38 inches in scale.
