Description
Hello dear friends,
This fractal is to wish you all a Merry Christmas.
With underneath a text out of "The Messiah" from Georg Friedrich Händel:
For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given,
and the government shall be upon His shoulder;
and His name shall be called,
Wonderful,
Counsellor,
the mighty God,
the Everlasting Father,
the Prince of Peace.
----------------------------------
This are 3 Apophysis fractals, 2 x png., and one as jpg. for the background. I mixed them together with my old version of PSP.
Thank you very much for your look!
With love for a wonderful Christmas time or holidays.
God bless, and stay well, Jacomina.

I already wrote a little about this, in a letter, but I'll say more here:
The fractal feels like a giant world giving birth to a smaller world. I can't help but think of God and Jesus---not that Jesus is "smaller," but that he is God's son; and, here, God is gently freeing his Son to go into the universe. I keep seeing this (it would fit the text you give us here, from Isaiah.)
And the two fractal "beings" are done in golds and plantinum colors, with reds and purples inside them. And your background is a celestial fireworks of purples, blues, rose-golds, and so on. And you have that beautiful chrome-like aqua blue: It's as if the universe put on a huge fireworks-display for the moment of Christ's birth. (Well, that's what I see at least. I can't get that out of my head!)
Beautiful work, no matter what it represents...a beautiful portrait of golden orbs, surrounded by an exploding, joyous cosmos. And I know that chorus in Handel so well: When he comes to the proclamations, he shouts them: "Won-der-ful! Coun-sel-or!" etc. Full chorus, shouting. It's a great chorus.
(The ancient Hebrew poets loved exclamations. They put them into their poetry wherever they could. When Isaiah wanted to say that something big is about to happen, he'd write "Kol Koray!" (A voice goes out! A voice cries out! Etc.) When Isaiah speaks of a messenger bringing peace on the mountain, he says that the messenger "calls out peace, cries out peace": Amazing, because peace is usually a gentle thing, not usually shouted: But for Isaiah, it was shouted---like someone shouting it from the mountaintop, "behold: Peace has arrived!" That's the kind of exclamation that's present in this passage (For unto us...).
Beautiful work, Jacomina. Really, all your art is spiritual. I hope your Christmas was blessed, with relief and healing for you and Karel.
(Jacomina, I'll do one more comment right now---not because I don't want to do many more, but because I spend so much time on them, lol, I can only do 2 or 3 at a time. Now I have to figure out which one to do...My first 'drafts' of comments like these are usually a mess! I mean, you'd need an interpreter to understand them. So I can't do lots of images in one session. Sorry! But I'd hate to write "Nice!" and move on! Or "cool!" I'd feel like a criminal if I wrote that!)
I wrote a lot here, but waited too long and everything was gone. So sorry, Mark. If I feel better I'll write you by mail.
