Trompe l’oeil is the french term meaning “Fool the eye”. Throughout history, many artists have used the trompe l’oeil technique to create fabulous paintings which trick us into feeling like we can reach right out and grab the 2 dimensional illusion in front of us. This one not only tempts us to grab it, but it also tempts us to open up our soul and sing with the unguarded freedom of the beautiful song birds.
