When you guys were first talking about the pictures in the painting I brushed it off because I didn't think Steven would be talented enough for this painting. I flipped through again and someone pointed out the dog and I thought wait.a.minute. I see that too. I see a guy at the bottom. I see the guy in a mask....I need to look at this again!
I hope you picture sleuthing guys come back in here to check this out! I started messing around with the contrast and lighting and everything just popped out once some of the shading and highlighting is taken away.
The painting was done in layers. So first the skull and the main figures that the painter wants to soften up are laid down first and eventually, using color and brush stroke patterns those pictures blend into the background enough that they turn into another picture.
If he didn't have the skills himself, he could have a friend that does or he could hire someone else to paint it but the person would tell the artist what key pictures to embed within the skull flames painting.
I've outlined the shapes for:
1. Lower Left - A red haired woman on the left side facing dark haired man who is facing her. Could be something in his right hand.
2. Center Left - Dog running - stripe goes from behind head to end of tail.
3. Middle - Dark haired person with bandana over nose and covering the rest of their face.
4. Right Center - Shape of baby laying on a blanket with halo over his head.
Yes, I do think this painting is deliberate now. I don't know who painted it but LE should definitely find out who did because that person probably knows who killed Charli!
