fantastic work with fractals!!!!!!

Thank you!

splendid come back with excellent texture ! good choice of colors.

Thank you! I so look forward to again seeing your beautiful images. :)

Masterfully done!

Thank you, Ron :)

Hello Nancy! So good to see you! Beautiful image and nicely realized.

(((Linda))) :)

Welcome Back. Your work is still beautiful.

Thank you so much. :)

That is so beautiful! I've definitely missed your wonderful creations, it's great to see a new one once again. My first thought when I saw this was of flowers, followed closely by thinking of the way a chinese dragon so often coils back and forth around itself. A dragon-flower-vine? Beautiful creation that evokes so many things!

It's been such a long time. I'm more than a little rusty, to say the least. But, thank you all, for the lovely comments and encouraging words!

Beautiful! Gorgeous colors. Corrie

Thank you, Corrie

What a wonderful play with colours, light and shapes, how they unfold so light hearted, without any restrictions and limitations ... free like a thought. You dont need to worry about being 'rusty', Nancy, creativity is a lot about new beginnings and has it's very own (occasionally capricious) nature, you just go on, it'll be fine. And last but not least, I missed your work, such a pleasure to see a new creation (and a sign of life) from you!

(((Martin))) Thank you seems so small, but it's heartfelt. I appreciate the encouragement more than you know. I was hoping you'd be here, and am thrilled (and relieved) to also have a sign of life from you. Truly hoping you are in good health, and in a beautiful space!

And Martin...I so hope we can further catch up on happenings in each others' lives, very soon!

Great texture and flow to this piece. Good to see you!

Thank you! Good to see you as well :)

Bold, powerful, lovely. Welcome back, N. "Medicine, astrology, magic must operate concretely since the Paracelsian type of High Science is the knowledge of concrete facts, of mirabilia."(The Eternal Hermes 69)

(((Joeface))) I'm not the least bit surprised that you, of all people, chose to ferret out the meaning. Wonders. Thank you for the smile. And, pssst...I'm home.

Well! It's almost 3 years since your last upload (a beautiful dedication to one of our best and dearest, Martin), and you're back! I saw the ebot about 3 minutes after it went out, but I didn't actually comment until now. It's great to see you, Nancy! Your fractal reminds me what your work has always been...opulent, organic, suggestive of so many natural forms, loving, and intimate. Intimate even in the "fabric" lines you have in it, as well as the placement of your forms against a black background, as if we were looking at it in a beautiful jewelry box or an old display case that belonged to your grandmother. (Like it was against that old black velvet...) It has the feel of a dragon or a semi-aquatic creature, and it's awash in warm oranges, autumnal yellows, and strokes, like frosting, of greens, blues, purples, and so on. I know mirabilia means "wonderful" or "miraculous" in Latin: So this is a marvel, something magic and new to the eye, which (ala Martin) flows without any restrictions or limitations. I hope all's well in your life and heart, with your family, with your home (I remember you moved a ways back), and in general. For however long you're back here, it's great to see your light here once again! And I hope you're getting lots of light wherever you are. Welcome back to these climes, how wonderful to see your countenance upon these hills! Many blessings your way!

I can't express what it has meant, to find this from you. (((Mark))) In typical you-fashion, an outpouring of light and encouragement. Sir, you could not suppress the beacon that IS you...if your very existence depended upon it. You DO realize that, don't you? Oh no matter. Those fortunate enough to encounter you, well....we know the score. Yes, it's been three years. Sometimes long and arduous those three, sometimes brief as a blink. As I'm sure has occurred along your path, too, there have been many happenings...some gains...several losses...some of the latter close enough to chink the armour. Such is the cyclical nature of all things, I remind myself. I'm just grateful to have found some sturdier ground, that allows me to be here once again. Thank you so much, for taking the time and energy out of your day and doings, for this incredible gift. And, as an aside, I'm smiling pretty hugely, that both you and NefariousDRO, once again find dragons within. (Not the first time you two have spotted them. And I know that's not happenstance. Sometimes, they make their way inside my pieces, when I'm entirely unaware, and I only find them later. Curious that the two of you never fail to see them, and sometimes even before I do). Oh, how I hope you are basking in the light you so richly deserve, Mark. Yes, I certainly hope that with all my might. I see your blessings...and raise you threefold... ;)

fabulous

You have always been so encouraging. Thank you!

Welcome back Nancy! How smashing to see you posting again. It's been too long a time. I hope you are keeping very well and it's all blue skies and sunshine for you. I hope you are here to stay. I've been reading the comments - no - you are not rusty at all - it's a sinuous beauty and has wondrous colourful charm. It is also a lovely Peruvian flower - The Four-o-clock plant, with the same lovely colours. ..I too remember my schoolgirl Latin - a great and universal language. Where would we Botantists be without it?

Awww (((Jenn)))! Damn, but it's been ages. How's my old friend across the big pond? I hope life's treating you gently, or that you're at least dodging the big orange pylons of life to the best of your ability. And, can I just say how awesome it is to see you also still sticking with FE?! I swear, you can still pull an organic, almost-breathing image from the depths of that program, like noone else. Thanks for the welcome back. :)

Wonderful shapes and colors. Excellent and very beautiful fractal work.

Thank you, King of the Camera :)

Ah, and now I know your name! Dear Nancy, this is a most lively, intriguing and lovely colored Apo, with so much details on it to explore! For me it looks like a fantastic colored rooster on the run. ;-) Love, Jacomina :)

Thank you for the lovely comment, Jacomina! Apologies that I've only just now found it. And Happy New Year to you and yours :)

Excellent work!!!!!

Many thanks!

Welcome back, Nancy!! How wonderful to see you again. Of course I already saw you pop up in the comments but it's so nice to see your work again. This is really fantastic. Lovely movement and colouring. It does have an eastern "ring" to it, so those dragons fit in well ;-)

Yvonne..so wonderful to find you here again! I hope life is treating you well, and all are happy and thriving. Thank you so much for the comment and visit. Happy New Year :)

OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! Deep breaths .. deep heart calming breaths!! Focus on each breath .. slowly breathe in .. slowly breathe out .. ok. I'm calm now, giggles. It's like seeing you, looking at this gorgeous display .. all fire and light and strength and positive energy and creativity. It is so good to "see" you here, and to be back myself. All is well with you? I certainly hope so, it seems that things or good if the image is a reflection

(((YOU!))) I have missed you, Rita! And I'm so sorry I've just found this! Where ARE you? Home, or at the hollow? Well, I guess I'll know soon enough, if I don't hear from you. I'll know then that you're off the grid for awhile. We really need to play catch up, and laugh so hard we wake your poor hubby again! (I will never, ever forget that, silly lady). All is good, dear friend. I'm feeling well, thanks. Life is beautiful! And I hope this little note makes its way to you, and softly smacks you upside the head with tons of hugs and more love and good thoughts than you can handle! (Okay, well I would never wish you more of anything than you could handle..but you get my drift). And if you're out in the wild now, I hope you'll drop a line or two when you return. Thank you for the beautiful comment (and the smile it brought, too)! And Happy New Year to you and yours!

wow- a zoo of animals -wonderful work;-)) ..glad your back again;-)

Lol. Well, I hadn't even considered a zoo. Thank you, Guenter! Hope all is well in your world. Happy New Year to you! :)
