Reverse


Illustration Friday - Reverse
When you look in your car's rear view mirror you get a reversed image of the road behind you,
sometimes a better view than what's before you.
This is a reversed view of the road 'cross country' to Mount Etna, we only got slightly lost!

You think of the most wonderful representations.

This is really great. I hope you didn't draw this while driving (grin)

Great interpretation! What I love most about your colored pencil drawings is that they look so... soft and dreamy. Love it.

I love this - although of course if my mirror was angled that way, I would be in trouble .... isn't it funny how we drive on the other side of the road here!!

Clever interpretation of the theme - nice work!

Great idea for "reverse", and nicely done. I like how you see the image in the mirror superimposed on the image in the front - makes it far more interesting than just a painting of what is in the rear view.

what a great idea! love it.

The others are right, you have a lot of imagination to create pieces beyond the norm. I also love the dog in the deck chair below, it has been great catching up with your work

Alex said...

Very nice drawing and very clever as well =) Mirrors are such great tools to create artistic views.

Were you drawing this while you were slightly lost and your husband was reading the map? Lovely drawing and clever idea.
