Here I am a little over two months later with another image. Most of these I don't know what I was going with since they were made quite a while ago, and I'm just now getting time to post them. For the most part, I think I was attempting to play with different colors than I typically do since I don't seem to delve too much into purple or pink. I think the end result is a decent result and worthy of the blog. Makes me think of a possible different post for later of all of the "rejects" over the years, but I don't think of them as rejects, more like part of the journey to improving. I digress, here is the image Pulsating Aurora. I did similar effects like with Hello Sunshine, Frosted Glass, Dents, Radial Blur, but I also did start with some pillars or thicker lines of color, namely dark pink and purple. I then used Twist (which I haven't used in a long while), Radial Extruder, and Polar Inversion as some of the top-most effects to fill the canvas. I then fin...

Hey all, I just wanted to thank everyone that views my blog over the years, it's been quite a ride and I appreciate the fact that people look and see what I've been up to. Honestly this blog doesn't just showcase my art, but also motivates me to make more since I know some people out there may want to see more. I wanted to let you all know that I've hit over 25,000 views across many different countries over the more than 15 years of having this blog. I know it may not be a lot of views by the world's standards, but for me it's a lot and I appreciate the fact that people come and at least take a look. If you'd like, you can leave a comment of your favorite types of work or your favorite colors, and I can try making something of what you like or with those colors next. I do apologize for not having an image this month, my energy is not like it used to be, but I'll try to have something next month. Again, I appreciate you all and I hope this year ends on a ...

Fitting title for the first post in 2025, after about half the year has gone. Here in the northern hemisphere it is also getting sunnier and warmer, so once again, fitting for this. You can imagine if you've been a loyal reader/watcher of this blog that the title of the post is also the title of the image I'm going to post, so without further to say, I give you Hello Sunshine. Started this one a bit different and used Frosted Glass and Dents instead of my classic Gaussian Blur with both the orange and the darker blue colors. I then added a splash of light blue and yellow to give it a bit more of a sunshine look. I honestly didn't know what to expect with this image since I wanted a brighter image, but not overbearing. I also didn't know what to call it, then when looking at the finished product the song  Hello Sunshine by Mercy River  (which I listened to this album a lot while I was in Spain) came to my head, hence the image name. I hope you enjoyed this installment an...
