Greetings, I do not expect a response or answer to my question but it
has been on my mind for 8 years and I can't find anyone with any info,
this is a very long shot but here goes, maybe someone has seen it, I
believe it is well known.

8 years ago in school I was exposed to a painting that stuck in my
mind. My teacher at the time told us it was superrealism, she
explained its intention was to be more real than real, and it was, I
can see it as clear today as I did 8 years ago.

Description: In the foreground there is a white wall with large a
window opening on the right side. On the window sill sits a woman,
leaning on the right window frame with one leg up on the sill. Through
the window in the background is a very vivid blue body of water, ocean
I suppose. And that's it, very simple yet so powerful.

The impossible questions: Who was the artist, what was the name of the
piece?

Thanks anyone, very much appreciated.

Michael

I offer this as the nearest Dali to your description:

Apology. I must remember to put brain in gear before
posting off..
Of course I had read Surrealism for Super Realism.
Anyway, enjoy.

This is getting closer, but it was more photorealistic and vivid:
