Description

Ultrafractal 4.03 "...stare ya blind with my confidence - cool as Jesus and His twelve best friends..." A neat lyric from my all-time favorite song, "So Gently We Go", by a band called I Mother Earth from Canada. Since there are 3 groups of 4 major squares in the spiral (ok forget the tiny ones...) I thought that would be a cool symbol of the 12 disciples emerging from a cross to spread the good news. Yeah, more of my texture explorations. Been trying to get a painted look for a while, now. Eventually I'll get it right. Maybe this is closer? Unfortunately, I Mother Earth's singer - dude calls himself Edwin - got too big for his britches and went solo so now both the band and Edwin have gone nowhere. I didn't particularly like their new singer and Jag went and changed the sound of his guitars and I wasn't very happy with their last album, Blue, Green, Orange. Thanks for stopping by, y'all!

Looks like you're getting a handle on those textures Rick. Nice abstract cross. Like the contrast of the pastel shades against the darker background. I remember a band from the 60's with a female singer, Tracy Nelson, which was called Mother Earth. They were great. Haven't heard of this Canadian group.

Your background does look like painted canvas, I really like it. Also the gray-pink colour combination, it's very gentle and pleasing. As for you technique... you know!

Sad, I came directly here from the list and so missed that thumbnail. Still, compensation! I've seen the real thing. Should I say, "Cool?"

Exciting, and yes, the painterly effect is definitely there, especially in the background and the stem of the cross. It is a lovely and poignant image.
