I'm not going to try posting it again, because it fell foul of the automatic spam detection and I'm afraid of banning myself; but I have a WIP, just started: with a cliff face; and the cliff face resembles in outline, the unpleasing silhouette of a president across the water (I hope this anonymizing might beat the algorithms).  Is there no way of avoiding the man?

Hmm - and was this cliff face of a president scenario an unhappy  or happy accident , or just a Freudian slip ..............

Unhappy accident I think - though with Freud..... who knows?  So many rock formations resemble human features; as do clouds - I remember painting what I thought was a passably pleasing landscape, only to discover my chalk cliff looked like an old man dozing after a heavy lunch; and also painting a cloud formation which strongly resembled the Honey Monster: I still have both of those, so if you'd really love a painting with a (not very well-) hidden Honey Monster in the sky, I'm your man; bargains on every counter.  Both are in my Gallery here, I think: so if anyone's short of things with which to pass the time and would care to trawl the offerings, be my guest.

 I won't post both of them, but this is the rock formation that looked like an old man asleep, and I simply didn't notice that it did: even out there in front of it I just didn't see the face: and now it leaps out at me!  Anyway, apologies for taking up WIP space, but I thought it might be a useful warning to people - to always look out for the uninentional.

To see the WIP - I'm not going to risk this site's algorithms again this evening - go to my wightpaint.blogspot.com, and such is my nervousness I'm not even going to give a live link to it.
