Real-life painting

It looks like a painting, right? It’s not. Makeup Girl is actually a photograph of a model in bodypaint. Peter Kun Frary, a professor of music at the University of Hawaii, spotted this model in a stage display at a shopping mall:

Recently I walked by the Ala Moana Mac cosmetic store and noticed a crowd of Japanese tourists gawking and snapping pics. Amazingly, a model in full body paint was posing against a set. She was a darn good simulation of a late 19th century oil painting. At first I thought she was naked--wearing only makeup--but she sported a few scrapes of cloth in the right places. Also, she hardly ever blinked...

These are the two "paintings".
