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!

Get it right?! Looks to me as if you are right on with the painting effect ~ what a masterpiece!!! Excellent lighting, blending of colors, contrast, and the idea of the overall design ~ well done!!!

Hello Rick - Your softly coloured tile design looks wonderful against the captivating cross in the background - also, I like the manner in which the square tiles merge into each other , the sparkling stars , and the amazingly good surface textures for the cross . UltraFine work for sure ... C-ya , Mike !

This is truly inspiring, deeply spiritual and symbollic! Excellent fractal-art, excellent colours and textures - I think you have it just right!

As always, I keep coming back to your wonderful fractals and every time I see something more in them. This one is right up there with the ones I'd love to have prints of. The name seems so appropriate too - infinite possibilities and depth when you know where to look! 5 is not really enough to rate this one.

I'm not a religious person, but I just love crosses. Can't count the hours spend on old cemetaries taking tons of pictures. Realy beautiful work, Rick. The squares were very dangerous in this image, but you succeeded.
