Ode To A Geode Painting

TROMPE L’OEIL, PHOTOREALISM, 3D AND OTHER VISUAL DECEPTIONS About Norm Siegel “You’re insane!” I get this a lot from people who view my work. Including other artists. Paintings that are clocks that tell time. Paintings that look like books that can even fool a librarian. 3D Anaglyphs that take painting to another dimension. Paintings that are hard to distinguish the subject from the painting. Paintings that are blank canvases because the frame is the painting. I bring a long career in advertising creating ads that I hope are memorable to creating paintings that are memorable, humorous, satirical and sometimes just plain pleasurable.
