Beautiful – exquisite. I love the precision.
This is brilliant, time, intricate care and patience in spades! I also love this because it also captures the magnificent fractals that underly so many structures in nature: trees and leaves, sponges, seaweeds … just to mention a mere few. The use of the blue background helped to take me on a journey through sky and water to those places, as well as neurons. As someone who is losing neural function over time, this was a really evocative piece of art, thank you for sharing.
Hillary, what patience! It takes me away. And that hue of blue field couldn’t be stronger for floating it and freeing it up to vibrate. A welcome place to stop & rest after a deadly tough week everywhere.
