A few more follow. No sharp edges or texture lines.

I pulled Janus #26 from some previous work for further development. In the posts that followed, I removed the folds and edges. I wanted a smooth blending of the colors.

After going down that path a few steps, I decided to return and embrace the folds and edges.

In the next two, I add more complexity to the color blobs.

Janus looks to the past and the future. As I mentioned at the start of the series, I am working on a new program to build computer art. Up until now, the Janus series has been looking back, as I finish up the unfinished backlog in the previous program. Looking in the other direction, towards the future, here is a fractal I made in the new program.

Sometime around 1980 I saw a fractal image for the first time in an article in Scientific American. I am a computer programmer and a mathematician, and I would dabble with computer generated art in my spare time. But I never seen anything like the fractals in that article. I was hooked.

(Continuing from the previous post) That was forty-plus years ago. After awhile, it became been-there/done-that. Everyone was doing it, and they all start to look the same. I stuck with it longer than most. But eventually I too tired of the detailed perfection of fractals and moved on to messier, and less mathematical art.

By the way, this is an alternate coloring of the same fractal shape as the previous post.

It has been 10 days. I am really slowing down. Perhaps things will pick up in the new year. Here are a couple that I had passed on earlier. I admit, they are not my best, but I need something to keep the blog active.
