Just DELICIOUS! I'll have 2.5 yards in heavyweight silk please. Get your hand well soon, Mark.

Wonderful depth and colors. This would look great as a keelim or wall hanging. Keep you hand away from doors! Get well soon, my friend.

Lush and almost sheer. I see fold upon fold of decorative fabric illuminated by a "Mark lightsource". This is rich and so creative. Get well soon my friend.

Awesome work. Take care!

What a bright and beautiful piece of work this is; simple? I don't think so! Rich and riotous would be a more apt description to me. Well done, Mark, and come back when you can!

Never a need to apologize for not getting to the gallery as often as you'd like Mark. It is just great to hear you are feeling better and to see you here now. Sorry about the problems with your hand, and hope you can get back to normal and turn out more lovely images like this one. Trying to handle the affairs of our loved one's is always a daunting task, and I'll keep you in my prayers during this difficult time my friend.

This is really beautiful,Mark, the way the colors and folds and textures blend into one another and yet are also distinct. It reminds me of Autumn leaves, how together they make such a grand spectacle and yet each is so delicately beautiful and unique. And the design on the right, which looks like the sun, is vibrant above and darker and more introspective below. Rich colors and undulating shapes and moods, and like the season, full of transition.

fantastic!! I love the colors

I just want to take this and wrap myself up in it--it's that lush and wonderful. Brings to mind the paisleys of the 60's--I loved it then and I love this now. Andrea's right--this could be the MOST wonderful piece fabric. The colors are rich and lush and vibrant and make you sit up and pay attention. WOW!!!

WOW what a delicious looking fractal art :-) Awesome colors and you made your special Mark spells over this image and of course an orb. That is how it has to be :-))) Yeah, I know you have had troubles with the hand again. I hope you will feel much better soon, my friend.

As an old fiber arts type, I'm with those who see this as yardage. Heavy silk brocade for sure, or even a light and airy embellished sheer. I often see your 2-D pieces as fabric, installed on a horizontal bar and hung lengthwise from the ceiling. With little bells trailing down so there's a lovely, tiny sound as the fabric moves ever-so-slightly. Beautiful! I can see Autumn in this piece, with the leaves everywhere ... in the trees, in the air, on the ground ... it's a stunning time of year with an energy all its own, and you've given that energy visibility and form.

come back soon

beautiful work Mark. Definitely my favorite time of year. The only reason I am inside now is I am sitting in a Starbucks killing some time before my 6:30 class, so what better way then to check out what is going on at Renderosity. Lets hope Autumn last a bit longer.

Really lovely. though rather than autumn, it reminds me ov Valentine's Day :) As soon as I saw it a couple of changes to leapt instantly to my mind. If you don't mind, I played with it just a little and would like to show it to you. Let me know if you would like to see.

Excellent work.

BEAUTIFUL, FASCINATING IMAGE!

When I first looked at this I saw fabric too. Soft yet intense velvets draped across a surface, fascinating for its folds and for its rich colors and patterns. When I sat down to comment tonight, I first turned on Met Opera Radio and they were playing Verdi:Simon Boccanegra. Man oh man, what a combination! The rich reds, dark spaces, rings of color cascading across the screen, combined with voices soaring together in tones of passion and sorrow. This image has the richness of opera. It assails the senses, enters into the emotion, sends the eyes in a journey though its mysteries, its surfaces and crevasses. Combine it with the last 4 songs of Simon Baccanegra...Sigh...Bliss! Absolutely beautiful, Mark. You and Verdi work sublimely well together. I hope your hand is better. Take your time and come back when you can.

It's funny how many people saw fabric! I saw silk, but then another part of me saw the final 20 minutes of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey only without a danger of morphing into a bedroom with French Provencial furniture, a sleeping astronaut, and a big, black monolith like one of God's own stereo speakes standing right there as if it made any kind of sense. I'm rather glad that this didn't go off in any other Kubrickian directions, but I'm amazed at the visual intensity and the way in which it did make me think of the closure of that movie, complete with partly-stolen, dubiously-manipulated music by Gyorgy Ligetti. There's a nicely fractal quality to this though it doesn't have that chilly, super-smooth digital vibe...it's more fractal in that there's a roughness that is, itself, fractal, and the colors are deliciously warm and inviting. Red is such a hard color to control: like a cat, it refuses to be domesticated, and yet you handle it well here, as if you've bribed it with a saucer of milk, perhaps! Cats are shameless when it comes to accepting bribes and I suppose the color red is the same way: that's actually comforting to know. I really like this image; it's as amazing as your others and so deliciously complex. I love a good dose of complexity and this is perfect! Brilliant work, and I hope your hand is getting better.
