I have this lovely giclee print hanging in my bathroom. I got it several years ago at an art sale in Lake Tahoe.
It's bright and cheery and pretty basic. At least that's what I thought at first. But since then I've found hidden objects in it. And one of them really creeps me out.
Maybe it's because Signs is one of my all-time favorite movies, or maybe I just have an overactive imagination, but there is an alien hiding in this painting. It watches me all the time from behind the flowers.
Can you see it? It's small, but definitely there. I'll zoom in on it.
Can you see it now? In the lower center peeking out from the green stems? It's just the alien's head. But it's always there, peering out from behind the carnations, causing the hairs on the back of my neck to stand on end.
I try to ignore it, but now, when I look at the painting, it's all I see. I know it's watching me blow-dry my hair, brush my teeth, or--heaven forbid--getting dressed. Gulp! Maybe I already have an implant and I don't even know it's there.
I'll know I'm in serious trouble when I hear Close Encounters of the Third Kind music coming from the print. Duh duh duh duh duh...
Found you through MJ's Pet Blog. Glad I stopped in, despite the creepy painting. It does look like an alien from Signs. And once you see it you can't unsee it. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteCreepy! I'd say take it down, but then you might find out the painting's permanently stuck to the wall... and then one day you'll see the alien's eyes moving to follow you...
ReplyDeleteP.S. At this wedding I went to last year, their song was "Hear You Me." I think they were confused, since that song is about death...
ReplyDelete@Brooke: definitely confused. and definitely about death.
ReplyDeleteI have the same painting and it's in my bathroom too!!! Now i'm going to be looking a lot more closely to see who's watching me while I get ready every day.
ReplyDeleteJulie, that's too funny! We have rock-work on the entire wall around our fireplace, and one evening at dinner, my son pointed out an alien face in a rock. Then my daughter jumped up and showed us a guinea pig. Then my husband - well you get the idea. Everyone of us saw something every time we look at the wall. It's funny what we each see hidden in the patterns, isn't it? Great post!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - I have a creepy witch lady trapped in one of my bathroom floor tiles. *yikes*
ReplyDeleteI also see things on the design of my bathroom tiles! So creepy and cool! And I'm sure I've told you, Signs is one of my all times favorite movies too.
ReplyDelete@Emily: Too funny! Same Tahoe picture in our bathroom. Sorry to ruin it for you. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that you can look at those things for years and be fine with them. Then suddenly....
