Description
Ultrafractal 3.02 - Apophysis2beta6 for texture on the pilings.
As we sit on the dock on the Bay of Renderosity with our toes in the cool waters and watch the beautiful "scenery" that flows by each day in the form of wonderful pieces of fractal art, we are occasionally blessed to see some extraordinary sights. I found two "messages in a bottle" washed up on the shore, recently, that said some of these sights wouldn't be flowing past our dock any more. This image is dedicated to two fine artists who have left us - fractalinda (Linda McCarthy) and Deagol (Keith Mackay). The sunny part on the left represents Linda's cheerful disposition and spirituality. The floating "thing" represents Keith's creativity and innovativeness. The frames, their images we enjoyed so much. The right side represents the "light" of God that Linda seeks so diligently and the astronomy that Keith likes so well. They are and will be missed.
This took a while to put together so its a little bit late, I guess.
Special thanks to Maria (CavalierLady) for making my mind up for me on the coloring! :?)
Thanks for stopping by! Rick

Copy all of the above for me. Your tribute shows how very well we can get to know someone through their art. Your symbolism is right on, Rick, and perfect for both of these wonderfully creative people. You're one-of-a-kind yourself, my friend, and very special to lots of people!!!
