Picture 1: Observation
Simon Hennessey is a Birmingham, UK based artist who paints realistic images of famous landmarks around the world. You can see his paintings as a photographic representation of reality. Like most hyper-realistic painters,Hennessey’s process starts with the camera. But instead of simply copying the photographs,his process of adding or removing detail, altering depth, adding textures, form and colour values and their relationship with in the painting,allows him to create an illusion of a reality not seen in any photographic source.

Simon Hennessey takes an almost forensic approach to constructing his paintings.
