Queen Elizabeth

A British artist has created a series of incredibly lifelike images using the contents of his tool box. With only a hammer and nails to hand, David Foster, 52, has conjured up beautiful images of nature as well as portraits of icons including The Beatles and The Queen.
一位英國的藝術(shù)家最近用他的工具箱創(chuàng)造了一系列逼真的人像畫。只需要一個(gè)錘子和一些釘子，52歲的戴維·福斯特做出了一幅幅神奇的畫作，其中有自然風(fēng)景，也有人物肖像。

The artist, who works from his home studio in Warrington, Cheshire, uses up to 30,000 nails in each piece. The artwork, which can each take up to three weeks of careful hammering to complete, sell for between ￡2,000 and ￡4,000 in galleries across the UK.

David’s ability to create his intricate artwork stemmed from a 20-year career in architecture. Due to growing publicity via the internet, David’s artwork has achieved sales in USA, Belgium and Pakistan, as well as the UK.
