A few paintings that, in fact, ARE paintings (20 HQ Photos)

People with talent piss me off

note to deleted4371007 and kidc – Im being SARCASTIC

LOL and my step-mom calls herself an artist.

I call bullshit

If I were to say this is fake… would it then be considered real?

pictures of paintings that look like pictures o.o

12 and 15 look like they would take the most time

no fucking way …. way too cool

to me, it looks like he printed a picture, then traced and copied. video of him painting a picture or he copied. art fail.

this technique is called trompe l'oeil and these artist are frickin' incredible!

That's great, but if you could paint hyperrealistic paintings, wouldn't you paint something completely out of the ordinary? These just look like normal photos.

#18 reminds me of andrew wyeth

My faith in The Chive is telling me these are paintings but my logic keeps making me yell NO!

P.S. Submitting a hump day picture for every catagorie like this. You're up to two now. See you Wednesday!

Yeah I dont think so. I call bullshit. Painting a clear laquer over a photograph does not make it a painting

The texture of the glass surfaces and the water are especially mind blowing to me. Such extrodinary talent!

Its imposible how did he did that…………

That's not genius. Technically proficient, but creatively dead. There's no imagination in any of these pieces, no story. The only good ones are the last three. At least they have character.

I dont know…i call bullsh!t Ive seen some really good paintings, but this is on a whole other level.
