Side by Side on the Easel - Monopoly Boardwalk Card Trompe L'Oeil Daily Painting

I thought I'd post another side by side comparison of one of my daily trompe l'oeil paintings and the original subject. I really enjoyed this one, a lot more than I thought I would with all of the tiny tiny letters.

I'll be posting this piece to eBay soon. Enjoy!
