Let us end the week with a KABOOM! Or with something even better and awesomerrrr: a few new oil paintings by Carly Waito (I know, my jaw also dropped the first time I saw them).

I seriously believe she must have some kind of supernatural powers, ’cause seriously! How can a human create such insanely realistic (and beautiful) oil paintings. Basically, Carly Waito has combined two things we love: art and crystals. So there, now your weekend will be complete.

For more jaw-dropping-oh-em-gee-inducing paintings, pop by Carly’s site.

Happy weekend amigos!

My god. I still can’t believe these crystals are oil paintings.  I discovered Carly Waito’s art months ago but I am still in awe. Aren’t you?  I thought I’d pay tribute to her magical work by pairing it with some other magical images. Stunning interiors worthy of a gallery. A daydreamer’s heaven (that’s me. Although I’m sure some lucky duck out there has the money to decorate like this in real life…jealous!!). More after the jump!

Yes. Minerals. My devotion. My obsession. Oddly enough I just re-started a new mineral collection (I say re-start because I did have one when I was a kid and it got packed in some box and never saw it again). The new collection has crystals donated by my kind friends.

While we are on the topic of minerals, take a look at these fantastic, UNREAL pictures by Carly Waito (make sure to keep reading after the images)

Ok now back to me. So, these aren’t photographs, these actually are PAINTINGS!!! Mother F*&#@!!! I mean seriously, how can one not be depressed when all you can draw are stick dummies and you see people like Carly that have alien-like talents creating stunning art. Unreal. The things humans can achieve with oil paint and masonite.

Carly. I have no words right now. So I made you a video:

That’s right.
