Phoenix Lament
This picture developed like many of my abstracts, with a fractal design that I played with and manipulated until it didn't bear much resemblence to the original. It this case it was an orange and lavendar pattern that looked rather like a phoenix's wing.

Beneath the Emerald Sea
For this piece I took the same ZaoS fractal I had embossed for Rubies & Gold and laid it over a green Apophysis fractal design. The result was a calmer image that reminded me of the light patterns - caustics - under rippling water. The pearl seemed an appropriate addition.

Rubies & Gold
This ornate spiral pattern came from the XaoS fractal zooming program, and I added the gold overlay and rubies. How any gems do you think there are?

Silk and Purple
“Her clothing is silk and purple.…”
- Proverbs 31:22
This picture is from the XaoS fractal zooming program. It has several sets of fractals that the user can zoom in on at any point, as well as change the color scheme.

Coral Depths
This fractal created in Apophysis turned out looking like some very brightly-colored coral. I added the gold framing and gem in Paint Shop Pro.

Somewhere in Outer Space
I was playing around with fractals and textures and came up with this image. I thought it looked like a lost planet against the backdrop of a galaxy or nebula. Or maybe like one of those Magic Eye pictures with the sphere standing out from the background pattern.

Cat's Eyes
I wanted to try drawing Dusky's green-gold eyes, and this stylized cat's face grew from that. And a red fractal background from Apophysis completed the picture. This is still one of my favorites.

Eyes of the Storms
It's easy to see the repeating fractal pattern in this design. However close you look you'll still see the same swirls getting smaller and branching off each other, like a whole tribe of Oriental dragons, or a huge super-storm containing countless smaller storms. That makes this a pretty versatile design for lots of different screen sizes or print contexts.

Imperial Crown
A fractals is “a complex geometric pattern exhibiting self-similarity in that small details of its structure viewed at any scale repeat elements of the overall pattern.” The circular repeating patterns are easy to see in this Apophysis fractal. It reminded me of the kind of ornate design you would expect to see in an emperor's court.

Storms of Life
I was playing around with a tutorial for creating interesting backgrounds, intending to overlay it with some kind of filigree design. But it turned out so dramatic on its own that I didn't think I should add anything to it. Doesn't it make you think of a brilliant sunset just as storm clouds are clearing?
