This is a drawing that developed out of an attempt to understand how reversals (shifting readings like the necker cube), planes, and the eye path of the viewer work together in a painting. One thing that seems clear to me is that tension, created when you brain tries to resolve a visual conflict, creates a visual path that moves from one reading to another. This one is about the tension between the trees above and the cow and creek below. Notice how the twisting branches work to create planes, The next one overlays the drawing onto the painting.
