Fire and Ice

I often use this one as a background for other images.

Primary

Hooked on primary colors.

Floral Fractal

 

This one is a combination of fractal program, photograph, and PhotoShop. Fun, fun, fun!

Spiritual and Mystical

As I continue my exploration with fractal imagining, I am finding myself creating mystical/spiritual images.

Goddess Expanding

Ceremonial Mask

Signs of Life

Emergence

Chinese Birth Signs

Year of the Dog

Photoshop and Fractals

The next logical step in this fractal journey of mine is to combine images and fractals. Sometimes I use the fractal as the background, sometimes the image is the background.

Floral Swirls

Koi Pond

Night Dreaming

Okay; It’s official; I’m addicted.

The more I experiment with the possibilities of this medium, the more excited I get.  Here are some more of my layering pieces.

Planet of My Making

Fireworks

Visions in Turquoise

Playing with Layers II

Part II of my experimentation with layers in Ultra Fractal.

Touch of Blue

Spiral Footprints

Loops and Circles

Playing with Layers

As I started getting more comfortable with using the program, I decided to use the layers palette to experiment. Here are some of the pieces I produced playing with layers.

Swirls and Lace

Galaxy Expanding

Ribbons

Designs are still pretty simplistic, but intriguing. Stayed tuned as I experiment more!

Discovering the Wonderful World of Fractals

Fractals are an important part of the mathematical world. I am not a mathematician; I am an artist. Thank goodness I don’t have to understand the math to be able to create some really remarkable fractals using Ultra Fractal.

Within a few days of using the program, I got so much better at it that I deleted the first fractals I created. I’m sure as I mature in the art, I won’t like some of the ones I’m posting here, but it is a wonderful medium that I want to share.

Although this one is fairly easy to make using layers, it is one of my better first fractals.

Lilac Spiral

I liked this one so much that I played with the colors and produced this variation.
