The Gift of Art

You know, as I've been perusing the Main Fractal Art Gallery over the past several days, I've seen SO many different artists giving out the gift of art to one another, myself included. I've also seen a great many friends pull together for one of my dear and sweet friends who has not been feeling well; *GypsyH It's truly an amazing thing to witness!

And I have to say that the fractal community here on DA has got to be hands down one of the kindest and most generous as well as caring communities I've ever had the privilege of being a part of.

I've made SO many wonderful and awesome friends on here and I'm so honored to know each and every one of you! I'm very glad to be your friend in kind. I'd just like to share with you all some of the beautiful gifts that these greatly talented artists have made for me.

Short Update! (As I'm pressed for a bit of time!)

Well, I'm here in Kane'ohe Bay at HIMB. So far just been getting settled in, been to orientation, got my things stowed, met the rest of the team and received my itinerary. I'm very excited for the days to come. There's SO much to discover about the undersea world and all her beauty. Probably won't have much time to submit much art until I return, but for those that fave and run, fave and comment, add me to your DevWatch...well, read below!

So once again:

Thank you; One and All! Your support, friendship, and encouragement is the greatest gift I could receive!

And that, my friends, is the balance and measure of my life at this time.

As always, many 's and much in your lives,

-Morgan Chase

This section of my journal is dedicated to both those that Watch me as well as those artists that I Watch. I've got five wonderful fractal artists featured this week and I have to say that it was extremely difficult to choose from all the beautiful works in their galleries over which to feature. If you'd like to see more of their work, please go and visit their respective galleries--you won't be disapppointed!

However: IF you don't want your art featured in this section, please drop me a note. Otherwise, please remember that ALL art featured in this section or any other of my journal is © to that particular artist and to no other!

Thanks and enjoy the art! -Morgan

This week's Devious Gallery Spotlight is a double feature! So first up is *Jellaboom. My wonderful friend, Wendy, does some truly beautiful works! Her gallery is filled with a variety of art from breathtaking landscapes to multi-colored and wonderfully textured fractals! She uses rendering programs such as Terragen and Apophysis. Her gallery is a wondrous trip into the realm of imagination!

Here are some examples of her work:

And for my second gallery feature this week, I've decided to feature another wonderful friend of mine and talented artist. Her name is *KLR620 or Katherine. Her gallery is a fantastic and delightful variety of many different and textured designs and just works of sheer beauty whose brilliant coloration just bring everything to life! She uses the fractal rendering program Apophysis.

To see more work by these artists, please pay a visit to their galleries found here at: [link] and [link]

I've finally managed to get a new series going. I'm calling it "Spiralling Emotions"--because the basic design is that of a spiral and emotions can translate into so many colors and designs. To me, emotions are a very work of art unto themselves. Not always perfect, not always understood, and each person that sees them on display always has their own opinion of them.

So the first four pieces in this series are uploaded now; with many more to come in the future when time permits.

(Edit: Normally I'm not into self promotion, but due to a glitch in my being able to submit things to the main fractal gallery, I'll post them up here. They can also be found in my main gallery as well!)





Enjoy!

Blue is one of my favorite colors because I live around the deep blue waters of the ocean. So that's what this feature is about; the varied shades of blue. From the palest icy blue to the brilliant jeweled tones of sapphire blue to the deepest shadows of midnight. Enjoy! -Morgan
