Today at choir someone had spilt water on the floor. Like a Rorschach test, looking at ink blots, I saw the figure of a fairy swinging. Both legs bent at the knee, wearing pointed toe boots, sitting forward on a swing, butterfly wings behind and a little pixie hat on her head. If I can I will try and draw on top of the image to see how much more I can make it look like a fairy. This is an example of Pareidolia, where the mind sees images from random patterns.


argh! Just got soaked. I’d rested my cup of coffee on my easle paintbrush tray, a fresh, full cup of decaff (don’t ask). But it tipped up, fell off landed on my foot, bounced, splashed…. My legs were soaked, the throw on the chair is soaked, my jumper, even my face was splashed! Everything is in the washer now! Coffee, even without sugar, seems to be sticky. Yuk.
