🌿As humans, we have a tendency to look at things at times without really seeing them. We are so familiar with them our brain registers them without noticing the details. Or we do notice them, but we don’t understand the significance of them at the time, like the time I decided to not weed whack the volunteer plant out front because I thought it was a pretty vine. 🌿🌿🌿I just let it grow for season only to later learn that vine was Poison Sumac. Yikes! 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️…Now I slow down anytime I see a vine and look at in detail before I get too close. Sometimes we notice more details when life forces us to slow down. Migraines have forced me to slow down. In fact, I started this doodle when I got hit with a migraine. Instead of drawing traditional flowers, I used geometric shapes in order to force the viewer to change their perspective and take a closer look at the drawing. Notice the details like the pollen is carried around by the wind. What small thing things have you just been passing by that you need to pay more attention to? What things are worthy of your attention?

This piece of abstract art immediately invites the viewing audience to interact with it. On the left side of the paper you see a man’s profile, but on the right side of the paper there is a clown, complete with an oversized clown nose. The question begs, is this one person or two? Is this someone wearing a mask and if so, why are they wearing it? Is it for fun? Or is it for a more devious purpose? Is this a creepy clown or a fun loving one? Furthermore, if it is for fun, what drives humans to joke with each other? What drives humans to joke or behave in silly, lighthearted ways? What do you think? What goofy things do you do to make others laugh? What things do others do to make you laugh? Do you believe that life is too short to not be silly sometimes?

Create a room you'll love living in. Add style to your space with this piece of abstract piece of art that is also an optical illusion. This simple yet sophisticated black and white line drawing immediately invites viewers to interact with it.
In this one drawing composed of three lines, there are four abstract faces. It can be tricky to find all four. Were they immediately apparent to you? It is okay if they were not. Think about how many times you have walked past something without even noticing it. Haven’t we all been guilty of that at some point in our lives? Perhaps this drawing will remind us all to slow down long enough to take stock of what is going on around us. Perhaps it will remind us to better express appreciation for those around us that have on occasion been overlooked or taken for granted.
For the buyer of this piece: When you have guests over, ask them how easily they can find the people in this optical illusion. Do they see all four figures? Do they need a hint? If so, tell them that one of the figures in the middle has his mouth wide open and a huge, exaggerated nose that sticks up past his head. Do they see him now? If so, then tell them that the guy next to him has a big chin. Do they see him? Or were they tricked because they didn’t see that the mouth and the chin share a line, and that can be interpreted in two ways -It is a mouth open wide. It is also an oversized chin. Once your guests can see the two faces in the middle, can they see the other two faces on the outside? Do they need another hint? If they do, tell them that two of the faces are looking right and two faces are looking left. Do your guests still need help? Here is the last hint. Look for an ‘x’ or a ◻️ that represents each figure’s eye. If you know where their eyes are, it is easier to find the rest of them. Do they see all four now? Do you? And, yes, the figure on the far left has no chin. All we can see of him is his nose, eye, and forehead. And, yes, the figure on the far right has some really wild hair. Sometimes it helps if you squint your eyes a bit.
Note: This line drawing came from a spontaneous sketch that Christine made when she was hit with the aura of a migraine. Instead of retreating to the bedroom to lie down, she started making arbitrary marks in her sketchbook without any preconceived plan. Ironically, the brain fog that accompanied the migraine made it easier to bypass her own inner critic and allowed her to draw without overthinking anything. When her sketchbook was full, without analyzing what she had drawn, she laid down. She fell asleep. When she awoke, she went back to the drawing table, picked up a sketchbook, and looked at this page, rotating it 90 degrees. These four abstract faces appeared unbidden. What was even more amazing was that she had drawn them sideways at the time of their origin, and it wasn’t until she rotated the sketchbook that they even became apparent. Her brain just worked out how to draw this optical illusion on its own. She liked it and simply traced it to turn it into what you see here.

You are, of course, free to free to interpret and ascribe meaning as to what is going on here. But for me, this abstract drawing invites the viewer to break out of the box and let go of the rules they are familiar with when viewing art. It instead invites them to tilt their head and reach to the back of their imagination. Can they see the three abstract faces overlapping each other here, contained within?
This drawing, with its rounded forms and curves, shows the originality and creativity of not only the artist, but what the viewer can have when they unleash their imagination. We all have times when we feel like the third wheel, when we feel awkward or out of place, or uncomfortable. But just because we feel awkward in the moment, it doesn’t always mean that we are not exactly where we are meant to be.
