• My new wallpaper, “Containment”, is finally up on the new images page. It took somewhat longer than I intended to finish it and I apologize for that. The 2560 x 1600 render took around 15 hours (as opposed to probably 60 hours on my old machine) and I rendered it no less than 5 times before I was satisfied with the result. I hope you like it.

  Jessie kept telling me that I should just post it and move on. She prefers my scenery images (and judging from the rankings I’ve observed in the galleries, most of you do too) and wonders why I “waste” my time on abstracts. I do abstracts because they allow complete creativity. Sceneries all have rules which must be followed (or it doesn’t look “real”). Not so with abstracts. Abstract art lets my brain wander freely and I think they are necessary exercises. That’s why I will continue to do them, even if I know they aren’t the most popular images in my collection.

  That having been said, I do think it is time to move on to some scenery. Expect something Autumn related…

• Sorry I’ve been out of touch for the past week or so. My nose has been stuck in my Lightwave 9 manual trying to learn its new features. I do have a new wallpaper in the works (it’s rendering now) and I hope to have it up in a couple of days.

• I’ve added dual and triple screen versions of “Reverie”. I’ve also updated the widescren versions of the image to correct a rendering error. If you downloaded them before today, I would ask that you re-download them. Sorry!

• Thanks for all the wonderful comments regarding “Reverie”. I’m glad most of you seem to enjoy it (as of this moment it is the new top ranked image in my gallery). I will try to get dual and triple screen versions up in a day or two.

  Today I think I will take it easy and relax (as much as one can with a three year old and a three month old in the house) because it’s my birthday. I was born 35 years ago today.

• Added “Reverie” to the Night Scenery gallery this evening. I hope you don’t mind two wallpapers in a row with silhouettes.
