Stamp Comparison Paintings



Donald Clapper presents the question: "Which Stamp is Real?"

Look carefully at the images below...one of the two stamps in each painting is a real stamp from the Post Office, and the other is an oil painting.

These stamp paintings have become Clapper's signature trademark in his gallery and museum shows as the viewing public always has a lot of fun with them. Can you tell which is which? You are invited to submit your answer for each painting directly to the artist (no touching allowed).

Quote From The Artist: "As far as I know from my research, this is the first ever "Which is Which" Money painting. One side of the $5 Bill is Real and the other is meticulously Painted. It was quite a challenge but it was truly gratifying after I finished the work. This is a companion piece to my stamp comparison series. Please take a good look and email me with your answer at clapperart@cox.net
