Lucky Draw #2
This piece is part of a series that depicts symbols of good luck done in trompe l’oeil (fool the eye) style.  As adults, we obtain a sense of security in our ability to distinguish between what is real and what is not.  When confronted with something that – if only for an instant – makes us question our perception of reality, we are intrigued and experience a thrill like a child at a magic show.  The wood frame and title card indicating the piece is "Not For Sale" is also part of the illusion.  Artwork is always for sale, if the price is right.
