It's often said that the female form is a work of art and for one artist this couldn't be more true as his favourite canvas is a woman's body.
At first glance, these bold and beautiful landscapes just looks like an oil painting on canvas.
But on closer inspection, eagle-eyed viewers will spot that the rolling hills and dramatic patterns are actually painted onto a woman's naked body, creating incredible living art.
Talented artist Craig Tracy spends hours painstakingly painting the woman's curves to complete the masterpiece - and create these stunning optical illusions.
Craig, 44, from New Orleans, has painted hundreds of amazing images on human canvases - painting a variety of animals and beautiful landscapes.
A beautiful landscape: But on closer inspection, sharp eyed viewers will see the green and yellow rolling hills beneath the rocky mountains have in fact been painted on to a naked woman's body, creating a stunning living artwork
Craig - who claims he never struggles to find models to pose for him - uses paint specifically designed for human skin. Throughout his career Craig has painted a staggering 400 bodies - including women at the Rio carnival.
He said: 'Finding models willing to pose has never been an issue for me. I paint on people and people are readily abundant. All of my models are volunteers. I never use agencies or websites to find them. In fact, they find me. 'Girlfriends that I have had have had an understanding of what I do and the professional nature of how I paint and create, so I have never had any issues regarding jealously.'
