Title: Incredible artwork

Beautiful picture of a parrott. If you look closer you will see it isn't what it seems. It is actually a female painted to look like a parrott. Incredible talent.

The bird's eye has moved - in the first picture it's on the woman's forehead, in the closeup picture it's centred on her eye.

Maybe they tried more than one way of doing it and we see photos from two serparate sessions.

I think it would have taken several attempts to get it just right.

That's incredible!  Well done to the artist, and do the model for sitting through it  :)

If I have to keep still or have my hands in flour or water I always get an itch  ;D The models do well to keep still

I think you and me wouldn't earn much as 'still life' models Pam!  I always (without fail) get an acute case of the fidgets if I have to sit still.  I can't even sit through presentations  :-[
