Tighter groups

Event less density.

Bigger or close up.

Less line density

And a Fractal

A quick digression today. I had this queued up with the Workshop group last month, but never got around to publishing it. So better late than never.

I combined the fuzzy line idea with a fractal. I am pleased with the result in the big and normally flat areas on the outside. However the inner "capture set" portion is too busy. The fine detail curlicues are masked by just noise.

There should be a way to gradually transition from the blended lines coloring on the outside to traditional escape-time fractal coloring on the inside. I will explore that at some unspecified future date.

Smaller features, or more distance viewpoint.

Similar to yesterday's, with bigger features.

I have several of these with the similar colors and shapes with variations in feature size and density. As usual, I cannot decide which I like best so I am going to post several variants, with minimal comment.

Fuzzy Lines

I just finished posting 29 images that I created in December. Initially I saw these as a collection of odds and ends, experiments, with no overriding theme or story. But as I struggled to add words to the images, I started to discover connections, and potentially some stories. I was then, and still am, too lazy to provide a decent organization. So they will probably forever be "Workshop 202012".

As I was preparing the previous set to publish, I was also discovering additional things to explore. So here is a new set, similar to the old set, with better categorization.

Wispy Ribbons

A five color variant.

Wispy Ribbons

Another one. Just because these are so fun.

Wispy Ribbons

Adding a third color. And a fourth if you look close enough.

Now the scribbles are wider translucent lines, in just two colors.

Embossed Scribbles?

Pushing the idea of the previous image past the limit. Individual lines and the flat background are gone.

Embossed Scribbles

Adding some white to create the illusion of embossed surface.

Scribbles

Larger, close up view. I get the feeling that the dancing lines continue beyond the edge to infinity.

Scribbles

Many of the images in this Workshop group were created by drawing many overlapping lines and letting the colors blend. Here I dial way back on the number of lines and colors.

Nested Distorted Squares

Back to the blue-brown color scheme. Now with the chaos / complexity that I am more comfortable with. A simple square grid is repeatedly merged with a shrunken, distorted version of itself.

Other than the color scheme. I do not recall how this is related the other work in this group. It is here because it was created at about the same time, and it is too cool not to post somewhere.

Fluorescent

Personally, I like the original color combination the best.

I was going to ask for color suggestions. Then I decided that I do not want to be in the custom art business. Then I tried a few different colors that I normally do not use and was pleased with the results. So, what the heck, post or send me your favorite colors and I will see what I can do with them.
