Rocket Man Painting

As an artist and photographer, I spend a lot of time just messing around with tools and materials. For this piece, I had photographed my dog and was playing with color balance. After about 15 minutes, the image was distorted to a point that it took on a completely different feel. I looked at it and said to myself, "That looks so cool! I am going to paint it!". As I was painting it, people would say to me, "I see a ship, an island, a fruit", but no one said they saw a dog. I found that interesting. Once the piece was finished, I would experiment by asking people what they saw. I took great pleasure in studying their puzzled expressions as they turned their head left, then right, scrunching their eyes, then finally shrugging their shoulders saying"I don't know. What is it?" Of those who did not immediately recognize it was a dog, (which was only about 15%) 9 out of 10, once told that it was a dog, could easily recognize the dog. It was baffling how there were still about 10% of the people who never did see the dog. It is my desire that you get as much entertainment out of this piece as I do. This piece is the first in a planned series of six pieces.
