This is an image I created in a computer program called 'Mojoworld', which is a graphics program where one may create graphic constructions of planets according to parameters that are inputted, and then zoom in on views of the surface, visible in a 3D rendering. The planet here I've called Cyanea and the huge moon hovering in the horizon is Rosea.

TETRAPTYCH

And now for something slightly different... The last couple of weeks I was busy completing a series of four paintings that were inspired by photographs. The photographs are given in the four upper panels, and they merge with the paintings in the panels below. A mosaic of images and ideas, colours and emotional responses. Tell me what you think!

Yesterday I was sorting through a cupboard and found some old sketch books. I scanned some images and they resonated with some recent photographs I'd taken.

IN THE GARDEN

In Autumn, the garden becomes a colourful, adventurous place. Brightly coloured berries and fruits counterpoint the changing leaf hues, while the sobering greys, browns and yellow ochres of dying vegetation give the eyes some repose.

AUSTRALIA I.D.

I was asked to do a little design project as an exercise in Photoshop technique, which identified the country I call home. The result is this "Country I.D. Mosaic" for Australia. Can you do a similar one for the country you call home?

SPANISH BLUEBELL

Hyacinthoides hispanica (syn. Endymion hispanicus or Scilla hispanica), the Spanish bluebell, is a spring-flowering bulbous perennial native to the Iberian Peninsula. It is one of around 11 species in the genus Hyacinthoides, others including the common bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) in northwestern Europe, and the Italian bluebell (Hyacinthoides italica) further east in the Mediterranean region.

It is distinguished from the common bluebell by its paler, larger blue flowers, more erect flower stem (raceme), broader leaves, blue anthers (where the common bluebell has creamy-white ones) and little or no scent compared to the strong fragrant scent of the northern species. The Spanish bluebell is also cultivated as a garden plant, and several named cultivars exist with flowers in various shades of white, pink and blue.

I've processed the photo in Photoshop using a variety of filters to give it a slightly painterly look.
