IllusionThis image is one of my favorites. The effect of pieces of differently-toned paper floating above the canvas. Beneath the paper, soft shadows give a feeling of depth.
When I showed a print of this image to the owner of a gallery along the Place de Vosges in Paris, he reached over and touched the print, so effective was the three dimensional look.
It started out as a photograph, then passed though many iterations
I've often thought that this would make an interesting book cover
