Under the Wave
I love playing with water and other refractive materials in the sunlight.

Cwm Aurora
Happy New Year!
If you follow the path in Welcome to the Cwm down to the bonfire and look to the right, you might see the Northern Lights.

Glittering Caves by Night
This is a night version of one of my favorite scenes—Glittering Caves of Aglarond
“Immeasurable halls, filled with an everlasting music of water that tinkles into pools. Gems and crystals and veins of precious ore glint in the polished walls; and the light glows through folded marbles, shell-like, translucent as the living hand of Queen Galadriel. There are columns of white and saffron and dawn-rose, fluted and twisted into dreamlike form, they spring up from many-colored floors to meet the glistening pendants of the roof; wings, ropes, curtains fine as frozen clouds; spears, banners, pinnacles of suspended palaces! Still lakes mirror them; a glimmering world looks up from dark pools covered with clear glass.”
—The Lord of the Rings, Book III, Chapter 8

Ship-in-a-Bottle Wreck
Although we tend to think of it more in the summer, the ocean is there all year.
This was inspired by the Disney short film “Piper”.

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.

Just Reflect
For anyone who loves to daydream!
“Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you're just a reflection of him?”

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.
