Exterior trompe l’oeil… not so easy to do on a small scale (unfortunately for most DIYers), but breathtaking when done as it should be.

This beautiful example of exterior trompe l’oeil comes from France.

A plain building is transformed into something much more interesting when paint is applied.

Here we have a small section of a trompe l’oeil mural featuring famous Lyonnais people such as Saint Exupéry of The Little Prince fame.

And finally, John Pugh paints what are intensely eye-catching trompe l’oeil murals on buildings. Cool, no?
