"This image doesn't look like what anyone would normally see from my easel, but sometimes I like to stray far outside my comfort zone to satisfy my artistic curiosity.  I was feeling rather crowded at the time I created it, but the light shining on the face in the upper right gives me hope!  I was also exploring the realization that was a name for something I've had my whole life...pareidolia!  Pareidolia is the psychological phenomenon of perceiving recognizable patterns, such as faces or shapes, in random or ambiguous data...and also a contributor to the fact that I grew up into an artist." - Erin
