Think outside the coffee table!!

One of the things I love about being an artist is the ability to think outside the box visually.  See outside the box I guess!!  Sometimes, when I am busy concentrating on the mundane tasks of life like driving, grocery shopping, doing laundry ect., out of the blue a window of opportunity presents itself and that's when the magic happens.  A mountain becomes a reclining naked woman.  A shadow like a cactus in the desert.  A frozen puddle transforms into a beautiful intricate city.  I've seen some wondrous realities in asphalt and humorous characters in slices of tomato. 

While indulging in my obsessive addiction of searching through images in magazines, I ran across this picture of a living room.  I couldn't believe it!  Was I crazy, or was there a face in the bottom of that coffee table??  A terrifyingly wonderful face with white, shining, eyes??  There really was no face but yet there it was, calling to me begging me to bring it to life.  so I did exactly that............


First I found the perfect body


Then built it the perfect world


I call it Treachery.  Because things aren't always what they seem.
