...So why not PAINT a fractal?
I called this one "Perestroika" because of the sickle-like shape overlaid over the "road" winding off into a bright future. Sadly, the wonderful promise of that day when the Berlin Wall came down seems to have been muted some of late. I'd so hoped that the old animosities of the cold war I grew up with wouldn't return but sabers are rattling and the politicians are back to flapping their gums again....Ah well, still time for fences to be mended and cooler heads to prevail.
Yup, still hung up in my infatuation with the abstract "geofractal" style I've been doing a lot of. At least it's a heckuva lot easier on my rig than one of those weeks-in-the-making, 180 layer fiascoes that I've been known to do! I'm doing a series based on this squiggly vibe and might post a couple more pieces if they turn out decent. Hope y'all enjoy this one!
Thanks for stopping by - try not to track paint on the carpet! lol ;-)

Love this work Rykk. Painting and texture adds a new dimension. I wiped my feet on that paper in the corner.
Wonderful and it appeals to me. I like the lines and the colors. Yes, those politicians have a way of keeping things stirred up.
Masterful Abstract! Bravo Rick!
wonderful !!, the paint-effect is fabulous !
W O N D E R F U L !!!!!!!!
So this one is painted?? Looks great, wonder how you did it? Pshop? Painter?
I love this style of yours, Rick, I hope you stick with it a bit longer :) Lovely colors, too!
Gorgeous coldors!!!
Excellent abstract. Love the textures and ludic colors.
you are right, why not? i have one handpainted fractal on the wall, and as long they are not overfussy, it works perfectly. yours looks great!
Excellent and beautiful abstraction my friend Rick.....!!!!
Yup--truly enjoy this one!
amazingly, this looks like the kind of work i've done with acrylics! made some fat money back then. maybe get some lithos done ? sign and number them! you can get something besides satisfaction and fun in return! ;0) just great work here! blessings
Rykk nice to see you posting again! Your abstracts are amazing. I love the color palette and the lines are marvelous! Well done!
This is beautiful. I love the bright and rich colors.
I love the little twisted squiggle in the lower left! The texture on this is amazing, just the right amount of 'bleeding' of the colors. It looks like you painted in in watercolors and then misted it and let all the colors fuzz. :)
Perfect color placement, well done, indeed, Rick.
Excellent work of art Rick!!!!!
A beautiful bright road to peace. Love the simplicity of the lines in this one.
Gorgeous work! Splendid story and creation. Bunny
way cool - with great colors on this fantasy road!
Well done Rick! And I always look forward to your posts, not just for the art, but for the words as well. It's like a hug from and old friend, good to see ya!
Excellent!
Congratulations! This image has been chosen for the Fractal Window Weekly in the Fractal SubCommunity. You will find the announcement in the Fractal Forum.
This is wonderful Rick, I agree with you about the cold war. The politicians are a pain in the posterior! Don't we people love our countries, no matter what country we live in? By that of course I mean the everyday person, not the few who want to rule the masses. Oh, and congrats on The Fractal Weekly Window!
Mapping a road doing something...just fooling with ya! Great Imagery, Rick.
Yes, I imagine this would look awesome printed, framed and hung on a wall. Wonderful abstract! (: ....oh....and don't you know that freedom isn't free? You have to fight for it.
