A few years ago I found a link to a website containing lots of pictures like [this](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/image7.jpg) one. Does anyone recognise the picture and know what website it came from? ---

It’s a painting by [Bev Doolittle.](http://www.artandnature.com/doolittle.html) Her work looks much better at full size, but I didn’t find any large images online. ---

I remember there was a big thread about that painting a couple of years ago: > **[Explain this optical illusion to me please.](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=163117)** > > Check out this “optical illusion”. Okay so it’s really just a painting but it’s a neat one. They say there are seven horses in it. I can only see five though and I’m usually pretty good at these things. Anyone see seven? ...
