Here's some new pictures from my new program which creates 2D spirographs, but with up to 7 elements (Spirograph within a Spirograph). On top of that I have a randomise (I love randomise!) so the possibilities are about 150000(teeth/points)[SUP]power of 7(spiros)[/SUP]. I love just pressing randomise to see what will come next. Here are a few. Colours are the same because I haven't yet implemented changing those easily. I just want to make something, where out of randomness, something beautiful can come - by chance. I think God has more say in such things.

Interesting how art can be created by inputting data via keyboard, or touch screen. I tried that for awhile and discovered that I still prefer to use old fashioned methods.

Argh but you don’t have an erase back button!

Ha ha ha. Sometimes it works out better to adapt and improvise for God may have other plans.

mj,

#13 reminds me of an 'embryo'...

This is a painting within a larger painting. It is to remind me that God is always available even if I hide myself in deep tensive depression.

 

[oldethennew]

any REAL Christian knows that they cannot 'hide' from God', once that they
have been 'delivered from the satanic forces of this 'fallen-world'...

So no REAL Christians suffer from depression. Or loss and grief after their partner dies, or .... never mind, I am depressed now because I am not a REAL Christian.

you are really 'stretching', ero, and it so very obvious, NOW!!...

What is very obvious to you now? Please explain.

Here is another small painting of the larger painting. It is about spiritual pride.

Do you think Jesus might have looked like this when surprised?

 

[Miri]

I don’t think Jesus was ever surprised. Lol

It could have been Peter though after the cock crowed 3 times.

That depends on the program you are using. I have been using pixlr on my laptop for quite a while, and just started paying a lot more attention to the history and layer's modules. Working with them, you can go back any number of steps.

Working "from the ground up," I start with a background, to which I add the inner white working surface; the background becomes the border of the image. Then I add various transparent png images, before adding the Scripture text. Here is one of my recent creations:

John 4:13-14

​

I have started working on an"I AM" series I am at
the very beginning stages, searching out backgrounds
and images to add to the templates I have been constructing.
I have hit a snag trying to find a suitable, stylized, tasteful image
of a dove I have found and tried out a few that I did not like
So if you see one, please let me know I like the one I used for
the above graphic, but unfortunately I believe I lost it when
I accidentally closed the program I was working in...

 

[Eromonnis]

Can you imagine Jesus Christ laughing?

[oldethennew]

I can imagine Him, weeping...
