Acrylic on paper, 2007
Is it an illusion, or is there something in there ... an animal, a tree?
Posted in response to Inspire Me Thursday's request – "Think magic… optical illusions… mimes… or any other visual trickery that inspires you."
i see a tree... what about you???
ReplyDeleteI see a massive waterfall yet soothing...behind a ledge that has a strong tree that enjoys every moment it's there!
ReplyDeleteI see a cat! Love the ambiguity.
ReplyDeleteSaw the tree first, then the animal. This is fun!
ReplyDeleteI like this! It has the myserious ambiguity of objects that are indistinct at dusk or first light. I see a tree and other shapes, but wonder what else might be in the shadows. very cool!
ReplyDeleteThank you all - paisley, pj, laura, deb and carla - for taking a close look at this painting and telling what you saw in it.
ReplyDeleteWhat I see myself is a tree sprouting out of an animal, with the animal being more canine than feline. :D
The waterfall had never occurred to me, but it's there for sure!
