Stunning



I love works of art that make you stop and stare and think, whatever discipline it is from literature to music via the visual arts, photography, painting etc, the connection between the artist and the viewer/listener is what heightens the spiritual experience of great art. Johannes Stoetter is the world's greatest body painter, he won the world body painting championship last year, and the above tree frog is the result of five months of work with five models - I don't think they had to spend the whole of the five months on a giant leaf, and is a fantastic piece of art which moves into optical illusion territory.

Just WOW! Very very good. I certainly agree with your main point re art that makes you stop and stare and think and this was one time but only after your words...I was looking at a frog until I read your post!

Well I had look at the photograph in passing it was only when Nathalie asked me if I could see the five models that I took a closer look!

You're right, Paul, it is stunning.

As well as the talent of artists like this, their patience amazes me.
