Trompe L'Oeil
Deco Trumpeter

Art Deco Trumpeter
110 cm x 220 cm

Painted directly on to a plaster wall.
It was painted for Maxim's Wine Bar in the Parade, Norwood, SA.

This painting greets the viewer as they enter the building.

The end of the trumpet is distorted because the painting is first viewed at 45 degrees as the viewer approaches the stairs. This foreshortens the trumpet into it's correct shape.

This is the first painting where I had to reproduce a style of art, rather than something realistic.
