DANIEL DOUKE

We've lived for decades with the works of superrealist artist Daniel Douke and the works remain fresh as ever! His "boxes" are so realistic that you could be nose to that thing on his painting that looks like masking tape, or a fold on the cardboard, and you honestly would say that is the real thing instead of (raised) paint on canvas. Interestingly, he once visited our home to look at these early works and he observed he would find it difficult to do them again as his body (hands) have aged out of the steadiness required to paint several of the superrealist details. So here are 3 of our 4 paintings -- which are always, by the way, endangered by movers as they keep thinking they're boxes for objects instead of the actual objects being packed:
