Collage? No. Still-life photography? Nope. They’re paintings. Oh my word. Funny, beautifully painted, and a nod to art history… seriously, what more could I ask for? This is the wonderful work of American artist Natalie Featherston and this is what she does:

Artist Natalie Featherston works exclusively in the centuries old realm of trompe l’oeil, creating dazzling paintings that combine the virtuosity of a Dutch master with a thoroughly modern mind. The Chicago Sun Times has described her work as, “Artful beyond just illusion and trickery, they are truly masterful still lifes made with both craft and wit.”

Yeah… what The Chicago Sun Times said!
