The work is stunning and it takes talent to produce such a great PR painting. BUT why not just blow up a really good photo and save all the time and effort.

To me, realistic painting is about having the artist bringing something extra to the party. Interpretation, technique, viewpoint or even the artist's particular quirks in style (think Van Gogh) that goes beyond the obvious and clearly identifies the painting as unique and ART.
