This is a photograph of that flaky paint I see from my bed - It's very different from the photographs I took very near the wall - I had the zoom on the camera as it is quite tiny from where I sit - no more than 3" As I stared at the wall while drinking my cup of tea I had the urge to draw what seemed like a figure emerging - luckily I keep a small sketchbook and pencils nearby for just these occasionsThe figure at first seemed light and floating - a dancer maybe?
Then ghost like and shadowy - unsure of direction! 
All this from a few flaking bits of paint!

I just love the pictures. each one!
Ha! SO you are getting this out of your system... beats painting it the real way.
love your intrepretations of the flaking paint - the dancer is my favorite.
I like your varied perceptions! So human! As for me, I see an ice skater with that forward thrust to the body. The bottom point of view reminds me of floating Maypole ribbons.
ohhhh... i love this... i keep meaning to draw a figure i see in the paint on our shower wall... every time i'm showering i see it and think how wonderful it is. now this... reminding me again.
oh, okay, these really are drawings, except the first one of course - wonderful, wonderful each one!
Together, they make a dance.
Inspiration to create sure does come from the oddest places. As an artist I often feel I do not explore my ideas enough through drawing. Your sketches from this one visual prompt illustrate what can happen when you give a "pencil" a chance.
Creativity knows no bounds. Each of your interpretations is so compelling.
I love what you have created here!And to think you didn't even have to get out of bed! Can't wait to see more.
I just love all your comments - thank you so much and i look forward to seeing all your creative outputs!
Truly insightful... wonderful imagination.
Love these drawings. I can so relate to being inspired by the mundane. Inspiration is everywhere. Art is everywhere.
