Can you believe these are paintings? (Oils by Carly Waito)

It’s hard to believe these are oil paintings, isn’t it? Believe it. These beautiful works are by Canadian based talent Carly Waito. I love it when a piece of art actually makes my jaw drop. These have done just that (excuse me while I gape in awe and wonder). Wow.
