Topsy turvy

This drawing, originally inspired by the fourth chapter of my story Belly (see below), began life as a body on an examining table but matured into something else. Perhaps shed skin cast off on bedding, or floating on waves. As always, I'd love to hear what you see.

Hi, looks like the reflection of someone floating on a raft in a pool... sans bathing suit :)

It looks like there's a naked person , relaxing and someone seated beside her. The person's legs are crossed that is why it depicts relaxation.

Way to go, Francis, brilliant as ever

Looks like copulation to me.

@AvidReader That pesky nudity :). After it was done, it did look like someone paddling out on the surf to me.

@Jena I don't know about brilliant, but I'll take the compliment :).

@Cooper I'm not sure what he would be copulating with ... a mattress or an imaginary friend? Not a good image to conjure.

I see someone swimming in water with rocks and waves. Probably in some big river, but not a lake or the ocean.

Aslan atop the altar, dead and shaved.

I see a lot of laundry that I should have done a long time ago....
And the guilt that comes from not having it done yet.

@Laura That's what I see too ... or maybe he's an Olympic swimmer in a pool :).

@Mark I'm not up on my Narnia mythology, but I like the allusion.

@Janna I've learned to look past piles of dirty laundry.
