Dochtersions: Hello everybody! Under the name "dochtersions" I started, at the suggestion of my dear husband, in sharing my photos, fractals, and also some paintings, and other 2D art here at Renderosity. That was in January of 2010. I still use my two owls as avatar, which is a reduced image of one of my oil paintings.
The name "dochtersions" came into my head as only one, when I was looking for a name for my blog that I started in 2007.
This name is not that strange, as I know that God is my real father and mother at the same time, and I know that God loves me more and deeper than a man can aware of (or at least I think this way)
I live in the South of The Netherlands together with my retired husband. I've had various occupations. In my last job, I was working as an assistant to a paediatrician and a rehabilitation specialist. When I had children, I graduated "health awareness", and gave lectures on various topics, plus vegetarian cooking classes to teenagers.
My husband and I have together two daughters and four grandchildren. Which all live abroad, to be precise in Lacey (WA-USA) and Davos in Switzerland.
I've always been busy with all kinds of creativity. As a child I drew a lot, later pottery, needle art, tapestries, weaving, batik art, macramé, etc. Painting with oil was my last great hobby.
Around about the year 2000 I started having unexplained physical symptoms as well as insomnia, which was later diagnosed as having PTSD. It turned out that I had repressed a traumatized youth. However, the physical symptoms made that I no longer could be busy with my passions, the real painting, and other activities (f.e. reading books, gardening, travelling), which I was doing without a limit.
What I can stay doing well in limited form, is playing music on my mandolin and my guitar, and also to enjoy/listen my favourite music, which is including the cantatas of J.S. Bach and his sons , f.e. also music from G.F. Handel, G.Ph. Telemann, a.s.o. This is also the kind of music that my husband (on its church organ) and I (on my mandolin) play together.
After being diagnosed with PTSD a lot changed and I was forced to look for alternatives in which I could express myself. That is, that for years I started writing, and poetry, which go quite intense and as a sort of automatic. Unfortunately, my knowledge of the English language is not sufficient enough, so I write in my mother tongue, with sometimes a few exceptions. The thoughts come to my mind right at unexpected moments, and it’s wonderful, to surrendering to your train of thoughts.
In the encounter more and more of impossibilities, in connection with, f.e continuous pains, I learned to shift my gaze. Searching for distractions and alternatives, I learned to focus my happy mind on all the wonderful and admirable little things in the world around me.
My husband since 1968 Karel (kareldg on RR) bought a small pocket camera for me, and taught me to work with Fractal Explorer. Through my little Sony camera I learned to look differently, to see deeper; to see the details, the structure, how refined, and just so unique the small ones are in God's creation.
What is one of my daily tasks is trying to support people who suffer from PTSD, but they suffer more in an emotional way, and I can understand them and listen to their story (digital) they trust me.
Renderosity: What projects are you currently working on?
Dochtersions: Of course I would love to take more concrete technical knowledge to me (to acquire), and follow tutorials, how to work with Ultra Fractal, Mandelbulb, etc.. The capabilities of PSP investigate and experiment with it.
The manual of my current camera (Canon PowerShot SX50HS, and as pocket camera Panasonic DMC-TZ35, since 2020 I use a Canon PowerShot SX70HS). I would like to sift through, and experiment with it. But exactly that kind of things, such as reading comprehension, concentration, makes this especially, by the constant dominating intense facial pain, really impossible.
All in all, I continue to look for improvement, while in the meantime trying to be light-hearted, happy and hopeful, to be open to everything that's coming my way. I enjoy art, stay in the nature, the outer man/woman in me, the love that I've been given, to realize this, and to be thankful for. Wherever I am happy with is that I am able to meet so many lovely people through RR. Unfortunately, only digital, but I'm also grateful.

Love how the intense music has the flowers tossing and reeling out of the flower pot ! Amazing shapes, colors, textures and atmosphere. Hope you feel better after your escape to the outside world Mies.

Wonderful! When I was at school as a pupil we were often asked to make art whilst listening to music, and I used the same ideas when I was teaching .

That title fits this super fractal admirably Jacomina.

I've recently developed allergies that have caused me to break out in rashes and get itching-spells that have kept me up for hours. So I can only imagine what your condition is like. Mine has only been here for a few weeks (and it's treatable): I know you've lived with your conditions a long time; and yours brings real pain (which mine has not). I wish you comfort and peace whenever you can get it, and I fully understand that it's hard for you to get to everyone's galleries. Your art is a great gift all by itself. I wish you rest and peace from all the discomfort. Well, Karl Richter was the "historically informed" musician before there was such a movement. I mean, Koopman, Harnacourt, Herreweghe and others owe a lot to Richter---even though Richter didn't use the original instruments (and didn't know all the performance practices that we know, today). He still brought historical authenticity to the Baroque, and it's sad that he's not more appreciated today. (To tell you the truth, while I greatly respect the Historically Informed movement, I'm with Beethoven that any interpretation is fine, as long as it's from the heart and it gets to the heart of the music. But the Historically Informed movement brought great richness to the musics of the past, there's no doubt about that.) I didn't know the Handel organ concertos, but after watching the video, that's Handel, alright! It couldn't be anyone else. Your image captures the passion, turbulence, darkness and power of the music. A terrific evocation of the turbulent spirit of Handel. (On the video: I love how the orchestra faces Richter, rather than the audience---so they can see his direction.) (I have all Richter's Bach---on LP ((yes, I'm a dinosaur))---and he always mixed great discipline with deep passion. His cantatas were revelations, and his B Minor Mass, Passions, Christmas Oratorio, etc, were just right. It was great to see him again in this video.) Your image is like a cup of coffee, where the coffee just "had it," stormed out of the cup, and exploded into the room. The jewels are flying in passionate swirls---like the music---and you have so many levels of dark and light here, along with jewel-like forms bursting everywhere. Even the background has hidden bursts. That poor coffee cup is wondering, "what did I DO????? what did I SAY????" Terrific, Mies: A terrific evocation of the music, and a terrific piece of art. It's so clear why you were honored here. Wonderful inspiration from you.
