Featured 9/8/16 in CROSSES, CRAFTS & COLLECTIBLES Featured 6/4/17 in Digital Art at its Best The background of this image is dark blood red, representing the carnage senselessly wrought at the Pulse nightclub earlier this year. The lighter, red center symbolizes both the anatomical heart that pumps blood within us all, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation or any of the labels that seem to divide us - the round shape also represents the city of Orlando that rallied valiantly to help the victims and their loved ones. The surrounding pastel rainbow colors stand both for the gay pride banners that formed poignant memorials both at the site and around the world as support poured in, and for the citrus crops and sunshine that norma...

Created as an abstract fractal in Fractal Science Kit based on equation Spider with complex inversion transforms Hacoversh, Sinc, Ztrans4 and Ztrans15 as a Julia image, isolated on just the first dwell.

Best if viewed larger. I went back to a very old fractal and used some of my recent techniques to give it more interesting colors, and made it faster to render by just selecting dwells 71-140 (instead of the original 1-400) since they appeared to contain most of the essential image, and managed to gain a more interesting center in the process. The apparent texture reminds me of chiffon fabrics layered upon each other, which in turn reminds me of this classic hit by The Chiffons: youtube:http://www.youtube.com/wat...

Created in Fractal Science Kit using a new transform called Rectangular Limit, this two-dimensional image appears to be a 3D box with shadowed elements "inside", but on closer inspection, it really isn't clear what is really in or out. This work is dedicated, by a loving son, to Professor Emeritus Emily Stacy Barrow, July 2, 1927 - December 2, 2010. May she finally rest in eternal peace. Though wonderfully humble by nature, my mother was a remarkable person; a pioneering scientist in a field with very few women, an effective advocate for civil rights and workplace fairness on behalf of those who had no voice, a volunteer for the poor in our community, and a champion for creation of men's and women's alcoholism recovery houses.

My small tribute to a visionary pioneer who inspired so many over the past decades to explore new "universes", with computers as space vessels, microscopes, cameras, and canvasses. His work has touched our hearts, and energized our minds. We can only hope that in his next dimension, he will see images of even greater beauty. Fractals shown were generated in Tierazon, Sterling2, and Fractal Science Kit, with postwork in Powerpoint and Paint. Photo portrait (possibly copyrighted) from Wikipedia.

Featured 5/22/19 in Fractal Abstracts Created in Fractal Science Kit with no postwork, this cute little fellow very cooperatively appeared in red and green just in time to make some nice Christmas Cards (hint, hint).

Kindness held us. We were suffering what we were living by. I began to know my story then. Like everybody’s, it was going to be the story of living in the absence of the dead. What is the thread that holds it all together? Grief, I thought for a while. And grief is there sure enough, just about all the way through. From the time I was a girl I have never been far from it. But grief is not a force and has no power to hold. You only bear it. Love is what carries you, for it is always there, even in the dark, or most in the dark, but shining out at ti...

I wasn't quite brave enough to make this totally black and white - hope the blue center makes the silver shades a little more effective. While the Mandelbrot sets and the curved silver orbit traps naturally suggested the name for this image, that name in turn reminded me of Jay Silverheels, the Native American actor who portrayed Tonto in the TV classic The Lone Ranger.
