Beautiful Pirate, I'd love to know how to do that! If the fish were with not tiles it'd look as real indeed. :) :bigthup

Just in case one is interested in doing a web search, such paintings are known as trompe l'œil.

99%, imo a real trompe l'oeil would have the fishes not tiled

nicely done. Do you know what the chalk drawings are called Rod/Lyle? They are deceiving as well.
