AMAZING WORK OF AN ARTIST WHO MAKES PAINTING LOOK LIKE A REAL LIFE PHOTOGRAPH

Oil painter Claire Duguid, 32, from Edinburgh, has created paintings so real, they're unreal. The portraits are so incredibly realistic, they are easily mistaken for photographs. Claire says each portrait can take up to three months to make - painstakingly capturing every tiny detail of the subject's face and appearance.

Claire says she stops just short of hyper-realism to ensure that her work is visually stunning but continues to look like a painting and each piece can sell up to £6,000 (N1,560,000) depending on the client. Miss Duguid said: 'In some respects I am painting every individual hair but I don't call myself a photo-realist painter. 

Someday, I hope I can have her paint me. A girl can dream right? See more stunning portraits after the cut...

AFTER 30 YEARS OF ASKING, 72-YEAR-OLD WOMAN FINALLY AGREES TO MARRY BOYFRIEND

Remember a couple of days ago, I asked you guys how long before a lady walks out of a static relationship? Well, this story proves 2 things; 1. Men too find themselves in static relationships, even if rarely. 2. For some, leaving is not an option.

Retired miner Chris Green, dropped down on one knee in front of his partner Ann Turner, 72, at his 75th birthday party, and she finally said 'I will' to his proposal. The couple has spent 40 years together and he’s been asking her to marry him for the last 30 years and she had turned him down every time. Wait, so they were together 10 years before he even asked? Lol.

Ann will finally stand up beside him and say 'I do' in front of their family and friends at St Matthew's Church, Harlaston, on Friday. An ecstatic Chris said: 'We've been engaged for 30 years or more. I've asked her on countless occasions to be my bride and each time she turned me down. I thought she'd never say the words "I will".'  All I can say is, wow!
