Description

I have titled this abstract landscape painting as Magpie multi coloured countryside foliage because a Magpie bird flew into my studio and sat on top of my easel admiring the bright colours within this picture. This happened a few minutes after it had been finally completed!

The painting was an experiment at trying to produce a “magic eye” picture by hand in paint and to some extent it does work. There are many hidden people and animals within its composition.

Other people tell me that they can see other faces and reptiles within the painting that I had not seen; such as a large green and white frog and an advancing green snake.
All these hidden characters have a certain cartoon appeal to them.

At first you may only be able to see a mass of black and colour. But if you look closely and study the picture you should see three hidden sheep or two and one half sheep to be precise. In addition to an African warrior and a fantasy type of monster’s head in green.

The monster’s head is towards the centre on the upper right whereas the multi coloured African warrior takes up quite a lot of the right hand side and he faces the middle of the painting. He looks as though he is about to throw a spear or perhaps it is a slingshot.

The sheep were intentional; all other faces and figures just appeared. The various multi-coloured ground fauna and the trees with their foliage plus the blue fencing in the foreground were purposely put in by me to replicate the real scene which this picture is based upon.

The real scene is located on private farm land belonging to my previous home called Cwm Mynach and which translates from the welsh to mean, Valley of the Monk. This is along the Maestir road near to the village of Cribyn within the Lampeter district.

If you cannot readily see the sheep then look on the left in the upper quarter of the painting and just above the centre of the whole painting. I made one of the sheep head’s as fairly obvious so perhaps look for that first. Also the sheep colouring is similar to their natural off-white colour.
