Trompe L'Oeil curtains in my Kitchen

I live on 5 acres of land on the outskirts of the Everglades of SW Florida in Naples. I don't have any neighbors to see into my backyard and I love to wake up and see my garden and land,and peek out at my chickens so I decided to go without curtains on my back windows. I still wanted a curtain for decor therefore I painted curtains on my wall. Below is the finished result. Most people walk thru the house for the first time and don't realize that they are painted and after a while even friends forget they are painted. I do love to fool people. The definition of the words Trompe L'Oeil comes from the french and is translated to mean, "Fools the Eye". Although I hand painted these curtains if you're not quite ready for that there are many curtain stencils available around.
