"Ripple"
digital collage by Mick Mather

"... Aunt Helen was torn between life on the farm and moving to the Big City; every ripple of the old dusty road was a parting shot, a mockery of her lack of resolve that, better than bars on a cage, kept the yellowed brick path to freedom at bay ..." - Mick Mather

"Cattails Separating Two Roads to Nowhere"
fractal flame collage & digital drawing by Mick Mather

Today's post began with an old fractal flame that was loaded into my favorite digital drawing software to add some lines and shapes while employing a bit of manipulation-born trickery. Once satisfied with the collaged fractal and digital drawing, into the super secret array it went. I have to admit that I've been less than inspired lately and have gone back to a favorite method of working through such a slump - add something/anything to the blank, white canvas and toss abandon to the wind! I rather like the way this turned out.
