Lovely question! I don't know about "everyone" but I suspect far more people with an appropriately free-wheeling imagination do than they might like to admit!

I do, sometimes, but not in my 'Artex' ceilings.

My favourite is a shallow bas-relief "face" in the entrance shaft wall of a famous cave called Gaping Gill, in NW England. It's merely irregularities and their shadows in the surface of a thick bed of limestone, but from certain angles looks slightly like a carved face tilted upwards. I've pointed it out to quite a number of people: some see it, some don't - and those who don't probably think I'm a bit dotty.

Gaping Gill is in a hill called Ingleborough, companion to another, Pen-y-Ghent, whose long profile seen from near Gaping Gill makes me think of a proud, crouching cat - a stylised ceremonial lion even.

So you're by no means alone... but as for your second question, WHY?

No reason - just harmless tricks of one's imagination, and it would be a dull world without such tricks!

What is an easy way to draw cloud pictures on a child's ceiling?

The best way to paint clouds on a ceiling is by using a wet-in-wet technique. Begin by drawing a nice blue sky on the ceiling using a sea brush. Next, using white chalk draw your clouds on the ceiling. This provides you with a template when you go back to paint. Finally, go back and fill in your clouds with white paint.
