Blue As the Sea
This was part of a three-part color series I created back in 2011. The backgrounds are from fractals, put together in Paint Shop Pro.

Pass of Light
A fantasy winter landscape created in Vue. I wanted a winter scene that focused mainly on the landscape but was obviously fantasy. This was also an experiment in working with snow, getting it to sparkle and reflect the light for an “other-worldly” effect. It was an extremely long render on account of all the lights and reflective and translucent surfaces, but I was able to just run it in stops and starts over about a month.

Twilight in Crystal
I found this virtual chandelier model and decided to render a close-up of it in Vue. I made a couple versions, this one with cool evening lighting, and a warmer, more colorful version I called Sunset in Crystal.

Bending Light
This was an experiment in digital reflections and refractions.

Shy Daisies
Can you see them peering quizzically at you?
I like to get as much use as I can out of good fractal designs, so I used Chaos Tie-Dyed for the background and flower textures.

Jewel of the Sea
Light rays are one of those things that appear rarely in nature but frequently in art. But I guess in a sense that's what art is - a selective view of nature. And the rays do add some nice depth to a lot of scenes.
This image was made almost entirely in Paint Shop Pro, but I thought a subtle fractal background made the water more interesting.

Blue Rose
“The blue rose means mystery. An appreciation for the enigmatic, the inexplicable is expressed by the blue rose. A tantalizing vision that cannot be totally pinned down, a mystery that cannot be fully unraveled is the blue rose. A person who receives the blue rose is the subject of much speculation and thought. A complex personality that does not allow easy interpretation is what the blue rose indicates.”
— FlowerMeaning.info
“Due to the absence in nature of blue roses they traditionally signify a mystery, or attaining the impossible, or never ending quest for the impossible. They are believed to be able to grant the owner youth or grant wishes..”

This was my first “professional” image created with Vue software. I had tried out the beginner versions of the software (with all the limitations such as size and watermarks that come with that type of software) and decided I wanted to invest in learning this program and making extensive use of it in my future artwork.

Broken Bridge
How did the bridge break? Is he responsible? Can it be repaired - or is there another way over? Does he even really want to get to the other side? Is the sun rising or setting on the other side? This piece lends itself to many interpretations - and raises many questions.

Circular Reasoning
An attempt to illustrate Infinity. From atoms to galaxies (actually fractals, but they can pass for galaxies), plus some circles and rings. The fractals were made in Apophysis, the rest I made and put together in Paint Shop Pro.

Deep Sea Spirals
This was the result of playing with golden spirals. And the dark greens and blues, plus a little hint of purple, look like something under deep waters.
