This is just one corner of an 18x24-inch alkyd painting. I really didn't have any ideas when I started painting this; it just came out this way. I found random patterns that reminded me of features, so I enhanced them until I got the faces you see here.

This reminds me of when I looked at a wooden door when I was young, and would try to imagine creatures in the woodgrain. I love the idea, very creative. 2

Oh my God this is amazing. I mean all of the drawings I see here. Such a rafinement and quality I rarely see. Inspiration-plenty, something painters today lack somehow. Characters are o vivid, like they truly have life inside, an expression of mystery and outworldliness ppl rarely catch. Well characters- not in this work obviously but still. I wish I could let my imagination roam free like that. And have the skill to render all that comes in my mind... Good work, you inspire me to go on trying. Thank you. Maybe I'll join this site one day. Keep up the great work!

Amazing, I rmeber doing that at the doctor's office as a kid. He had wood paneling in the waiting room, and we would sit and find faces and creatures in it.

I see a cheetah and an anteloupe so im guessing that the cheetah is about to chase the antelope, since the antelope is in front of an enlarged cheetah face! Wow! I just made a dependant clause at the end of the sentence, im not really usually good at that!!!
