Ah, yes, the interpretation of art. That is what makes it so special. You never know what will 'surface' in another's minds' eye. Always fascinating. I do like your idea of just letting it sit, without a guidance idea to the viewer. That leaves it more open to interpretation and flexing of the mental imagery muscles.
Here's to a cuppa on a too-late Tuesday night. I must head to bed. So it better be a cuppa water, or I shall stare at the ceiling till all hours. (Can you believe it, I've never actually drank a cup of coffee. How odd is that, eh?) Cheers.
