    Don’t know why you were downvoted. There’s clearly far too much detail, especially in all the individual hairs and the melting snowlflakes, for this to be a real painting.

    Maybe it was digitally painted by tracing over the actual photo, but I doubt it.

      Hyperrealist artists paint this kind of thing all the time. It’s quite possible to paint this using actual paints.

        I’m changing this instead to express my astonishment that the artist did capture the depth of field and also motion blur; see below.

      Because they’re wrong and because it is an oil on canvas painting.
