Photorealistic paintings

I recently came across the phenomenon of photorealistic paintings and they are fantastic.
What I like most is the water effects: another shower, swimming reflections, splash, underwater swimming. What's interesting is the visual trick here: my brain reconstructs it as mist on a window or light reflected off the undulating surface of water, but it's actually juxtaposed differently-colored pigments. So cool. I'd love to see one in person.
