Donald “Rusty” Rust is an artist with a repertoire as extensive as his talent. He is an immensely prolific painter, who adeptly renders intriguing camouflage wildlife scenes, landscapes, seascapes, still-life’s and portraits. If you think you never heard of him, well he was the one responsible for our most commented optical illusion ever – The Hidden Tiger. Many other successful illusions from our archive were created by Rusty as well. This time Rusty draw a landscape with a Native American portrayed inside it. But our little Indian isn’t the only living thing inside this picture. Can you see what else Rusty tried to hide from us (for reasons unknown to me)? Shouldn’t be too hard for you, optical illusion veterans .

Donald "Rusty" Rust hid something in this painting. Can you tell what was it?

    there are some animals reflected in the water but I can’t really tell what they are…

  2. AliceIgnis says:

    some kind of sheeps, I think.
    They are drinking

  3. Kathy says:

    All I can see is that the rocks appear to be some sort of animals drinking from the pond.

  4. Basti says:

    the reflections in the water are bisons/buffalos :)

  5. josh says:

    i can see a face! to the right of the water is
    the front of a pac-man kind of thing, theres a bit of dirt that makes up the eye and some small rocks at the bottom tip of its mouth that makes teeth.

  6. green says:

  9. Anonymous says:

    i think i see elephants in the water

  10. Zeb says:

    Theres a green beast in the grass (eye closed mouth open) about to leap on to the grazing sheep in the centre. (And I think I see an eagle’s head just behind the figure?)

  11. Zach says:

    I won’t give it away, but think of it this way. Look at the hill the Indian is standing on, with the rocks representing something…

    Good job Rusty! Keep up the great work!

  12. oliver says:

    SPOILERS
    The rocks look like small animals, one looks like an elephant. Also, the entire landscape forms the shape of a crocodile

  13. MEJO says:

    THEY LOOK LIKE ELEPHANTS
    AWESOME¡¡¡¡

  14. parker says:

    theres bears drinking from the pound (formed by rocks)

  15. David says:

    I think it’s the hawk?

  16. Pattie Roberts says:

    A very beautiful painting. The artist tried to hide the buffalos drinking at the pool of water. Patti

  17. Zwaan says:

    Just look at the reflection of the rocks in the pool in the middle of the picture.

  18. Jelmer says:

    The rocks, seems to be animals trinking water

  19. Faith Lyons says:

    one word: LAME!!!!! Sorry but its bogus! :P

  20. Faith Lyons says:

    OH First comment WHAT!!!!! Take that HA!!!!

  21. sena says:

    I see a bear on the lake. Is that right?

  22. countrygrl says:

    The rocks are bison drinking

  23. valk says:

    I see a dog rocks and reflectiosn are teeth

  24. Flor says:

    Very pretty illusion

  25. Tom says:

    It looks a little bit like a species of now-extinct rhino-like animals that lived about 30 million years ago on the savannah. Their horns were a weird shape.

  26. Archer says:

    I see Bison drinking water.

  27. echo says:

    i guess everyone else saw bison or sheep, but i saw elephants haha!

  28. the rocks look like some sort of animal but is unclear as to what, but if you turn the pic upside down and look at the water you can clearly see the reflection of the rocks are buffalo. nice

  29. Conni says:

    lol – i didn’t knew that pac-man or elefants was native american… Seems this is difficult.
    It looks like buffalos!

  30. Donna says:

    Buffalo, I’m certain, which goes with the Native American scene.

  31. Thomas says:

    I can vaguely spot an indian blowing a horn just above the drinking buffalo’s.

  32. Brittany says:

    I think the reflection in the water is a heard of buffalo

  33. me says:

    Elephants.

  34. Psychadelic Steve says:

    Perhaps it is a political and environmental comment on our times. Pan calls to the lost great herds of buffalo that drank here in the past, where now there is only the rock to remember their passing.

    So many facets to a single work of art.

  35. otowi says:

    I think this is actually a Bev Doolittle isn’t? The rocks reflect as buffaloes in the water, I have seen it in a book of her work.

  36. Greg says:

    Rusty “hid” a Bev Dolittle signature in the bottom right corner. Someone needs to check his facts.

  37. Renee says:

    There are buffalo in that there picture

  38. Val Hurd says:

    Bison drinking at the pool of water.

  39. parker says:

    i think it is an elefant, polar bear?, bison, bear, and two other things i cant make out

  40. Amark says:

    turn it upside down and look at the pond and youll really see it

  41. test says:

    i think some kind of stones..donno..

  42. John Masters says:

    This picture was painted by a watercolor artist named Bev Doolittle. The title of the painting is “Calling the Buffalo”. What I think Ms. was trying to portray was that the reflections of the rocks were taking on the appearance of buffalo. I have no idea who this “rusty” that you are talking about might be.

  43. Spider says:

    Is there any special feelings you got by being the first to comment? Even more when you turned to be NOT the first?

    The rocks over the pond are actually rocks. They weren’t meant to hide anything. However, their reflection on the water are not rocks. Flip the picture vertically and you’ll see that the rocks are rocks and the reflection is CLEARLY a bunch of… I don’t know, yaks? Bisons? Buffalos?

  44. Genie says:

    If you turn the pic upside down you can see sheep in the water.

  45. jim says:

    dead buffalo

  46. WilliamRAV says:

    is DOG,

  47. Asch says:

    Buffalo, duh!

  48. GianniF says:

    The painting (buffalo) is not by Dinald Rust but by Bev Doolittle .

  49. Aoife says:

    I kinda see a T-Rex, maybe a crocodile (the teeth being the rocks/buffalos). The green grass looks a bit like an eagle
