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.

I've no idea what it really is, but it looks like a wonderful piece of hand-blown glass! What a terrific picture! :)
soffy

blown glass art with a thick liquid inside? sorry to hear you are ill
MrsRatbag
Yes, this looks to me like a glass sculpture of a snail, but I'm sure that's not correct at all. What a beautiful work!

Schitterende opname met een mooie reflectie erin.
kan dus ook een afwasmiddel zijn.

What a fun game, Mies. I do not know what it is for sure, but I love what you did with it and I sincerely hope you will enlighten us so we do not all die of curiousity. But even more I hope you have a productive visit with the Doctor. Succes!
beachsidelegs

Looks like oil to me as well. Trust your health issues will be sorted out Mies. God bless.

cool capture

Turned a bottle of oil upside down and captured the air bubble as it rises? Cool shot.

My first choice would be Dish-washing detergent - upside down bottle, of course...
Thank heavens you found out, it's something else about that 'pill-taking saga' - why couldn't they tell you that sooner ? - instead of experimenting with you, when you are most fragile ? let's hope, there will be no more nightmares...
Jacominchen ;))

yes, if you were having bad reactions to stopping your medication, you should cut it down more slowly. It's always hard to know what's right. And I agree with Brigitte, they shouldn't experiment with you, esp when you've had health problems. I hope it works out better for you now.
As for this image: It really looks like some kind of glass or plastic. And it looks like you've poured something on top of it, like oil, or even clear honey. If it were a single water-drop, I can't imagine it forming a shape this complex. It looks like a glass pear---ie, a glass-sculpture of fruit. The top thing looks like the "stem". And we can see bits of the kitchen reflected in it too. Whatever it is, it's a beautiful picture, mysterious and shining, and with deep yellow-green hues. You textured it too, like a canvas. It's beautiful, whatever it is. All the best to you with your health, Jacomina. I hope your doctors will help you so you don't have to bear this all yourself. And I hope your flu is either gone or near-gone.

Cool capture Jacomina.
